Thinking about doing the #100DaysOfCode Challenge on X/Twitter? Well, you've come to the right place!

#100DaysOfCode Official Website | #100DaysOfCode

100 Days of Code Challenge is an initiative I am commiting to take, where I will be spending each day working on problem solving and personal projects to improve my skills and push my boundaries.

I'm participating in the #100DaysOfOSS challenge by OpenSauced. Inspired by the #100DaysOfCode challenge, #100DaysOfOSS is a challenge for everyone interested in open source to learn about open source, contribute, or maintain open source projects over 100 days, starting on July 24th.

Inspired by the great work of the #100DaysOfCode challenge, we're launching #100DaysOfOSS, starting July 23rd, and running through the end of Hacktoberfest, October 31.

When I started to learn Python, I joined #100DaysOfCode challenge on Twitter. Strangers supported me under my daily tweets and this helped me build a daily habit of coding. If I do something hard, I will need someone who cares and will cheer me up. It’s more important than it seems.

Here is the official site: https://www.100daysofcode.com/

So you're should be thinking: why I entered on the #100daysofcode challenge? Very simple: I'm a newbie in a lot of technologies and concepts. I focused all this time to learn PHP and Laravel, Linux and other stuffs to get a job and enter the market but now I have a new challenge to move on.

There's also -- https://www.100daysofcode.com/ -- I haven't explored their resources or curriculum tbh, but they seem to understand the importance of community.

In order to participate you need to sign up here and then Submit four pull requests (PRs) to a GitHub repo tagged with the hacktoberfest label and redeem a Hacktoberfest shirt.

If you complete four pull requests in October, you'll receive a free Hacktoberfest t-shirt and a limited edition Hacktoberfest 2022 sticker pack. You can find more information about Hacktoberfest on the Hacktoberfest website.

Plus, I also contributed to an open source project, so that I could get practice working on a larger app (than one that I build). So I highly encourage everyone to do this. Check out https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ that happens every October and is a great place to find an open source project in your preferred tech stack.

So while in bootcamp, I decided to join Major League Hacking and was apart of their fellowship. This made me stand out on my resume because I had my usual bootcamp projects, but also had projects where I collaborated on building things and using different technologies. In addition, I contributed to open source by participating in the 2020 hacktoberfest I made sure to put myself out there, show my capabilities of working on a team, and more. I used to participate in mintbean.io hackathons that happened every month. Hackathons are a great way to get experience and practice working in a group setting. It also adds the sense of urgency that is necessary in the real world. In addition, I blogged quite often to show my ability to write/document my experiences and code. In addition, I began tweeting about my experiences and staying in contact with the #devcommunity on twitter. Also, I made sure to keep my resume and Github up to date. Sometimes the little things, like a cool looking Github can make a difference.

There are also often big "come help us" sort of events, like Hacktoberfest: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/

For Hacktoberfest, you can find these projects mostly during October. Projects and issues participating will have the “Hacktoberfest” label. For 24 Pull Requests, you can find projects listed on the page while the program is active in December.
