freeCodeCamp VS TheAlgorithms

Move the confetti logic to the related redux-saga #51908

I started open source software development a few months into my last internship, after one of my colleagues suggested it. When I made my first open source contribution, I realized how much of an impact I could create with this work, especially because of the size of the org I contributed to. My first PR was a feature that I added to the freeCodeCamp codebase; this repo has the highest number of stars on GitHub! I made this contribution in October, and to my surprise, I got an email in December informing me that I was one of the top contributors of 2022 to the freeCodeCamp codebase because of this contribution! I was elated and the sense of satisfaction that I got from this feat was something that I had not experienced before. freeCodeCamp was also the first open source community I was a part of, interacting with the maintainers in their Discord server daily to get my PRs merged and learn more about the codebase!

GitHub itself uses the OSI definition in its Readme guide to open source:

> Many people think that Open Source simply means availability of the source code of a project, but that does only tell part of the whole story.

> The Open Source Initiative (OSI) provides a commonly accepted definition of what constitutes Open Source. To summarize that, in order to be constituted Open Source,

>> a work has to allow free redistribution,

>> the source code needs to be made available,

>> it must be possible to create further works based on it,

>> there must be no limitations of who may use the work or for what purpose (so something like "no commercial use" or "no military use" won't fly with Open Source),

>> the work must not require an additional license on top of the one it comes with,

>> and finally, the license must not depend on a specific distribution format, technology or presence of other works.

> So, you see, it goes way beyond "the source code is available", in fact, a whole lot more requirements are stated that must be fulfilled in order for a work to really be considered Open Source.

Also, GitHub's most starred repo is freeCodeCamp (359k stars - https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp). Linked right in the repo, freeCodeCamp defines open source as:

> Open Source Software is code that is publicly available for people to view, modify, and share.

The Algorithms Contains many open source implementations of algorithms. Check it out.

There is no one way to learn all these but here are some resources: 1. Gooking algorithms [https://edu.anarcho-copy.org/Algorithm/grokking-algorithms-illustrated-programmers-curious.pdf\] 2. Algorithms in all languages [https://the-algorithms.com/] 3. Node js best practices. [https://github.com/goldbergyoni/nodebestpractices] 4. Refactoring [https://refactoring.guru/] 5. Learn about Clean Code and Clean Architecture from uncle bob. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeXQEJNWO5w&ab_channel=StreamAConStreamingConferences

DSA basics

There's also The Algorithms. Many implementations are unfortunately low quality. The Lua ones (disclaimer: I wrote them) should be fine however.

You could try https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Python or https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls to check if it's a problem with the server side or generally something on your connection.
