October is here and so is Hacktoberfest!
In it’s 7th year, Hacktoberbest is one of the most recognised open source celebratory events all time. If you are looking to participate for the first time, here are the basics:
To earn your Hacktoberfest tee or tree reward, you must register and make four valid pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 (in any time zone). PRs can be made to any public repo on GitHub, not only the ones with issues labeled Hacktoberfest.
Make sure to checkout their site for more details.
Remote work update!
Most offices have been remote for really long now and we are hearing many companies are starting to call their employees back (please don’t!). We have reached such saturation that Remote work is now accused of killing a Three Trillion Dollar economy and survillence software is booming.
If you feel you are drifting apart from your collegues here’s three great solution oriented pieces I found on the web this month:
Fast Refresh for React
If you work on React, checkout the new Fast Refresh that’s coming to all your favorite boilerplates. It’s the advanced version of hot loader, works much better and preserves state. Takes just three steps to setup.
We sat through a Google Pixel 5 launch event this week. But other than the flagships, few other phones caught my eye this month.
I’m not going to be buying any of these anytime soon and neither should you. But we have seen this bland square boxes for so long, it’s nice to see some innovation.
