I am an early career software engineer and I recently had the opportunity to work on an open source project and the experience was amazing. I not only learned about coding as part of a team but also how to establish production level code and consistency using linters and tests through Github actions.

I know a lot of people are always advocating to contribute to open source but I feel like coding as a team and learning the techniques to ensure quality and consistency are not stated enough.

I've recently started another project for myself and have taken all that I've learned and have incorporated them setting up test-driven-development (TDD) and a continuous integration (CI) pipeline through Github actions. It is so other level and open source was one of the most valuable experiences I've had in coding.
