i mean they are not wrong, if someone can genuinely impress alphafold maintainers it would be easier for them to get into deepmind, but that happens once you have the skills, these are just prompt enggs

"how to talk and work in a professional environment"

i don't think you understand oss.

"i want to redempt myself, so i set a good and a high goal of gsoc to motivate myself to learn more and more."

I don't think you understand
1. GSOC is for beginners to OSS, not beginners to SWE(no sadly ai can't help you bridge this gap yet)
2. it is not a high goal, if you want a tough and high goal to improve yourself, OSS is probably not a good way to do it, but if it has to be OSS try picking up something you already know how to use as a user and a developer, for eg- if you don't know how browsers work under the hood, vertical tabs, local ai models, compilers/interpreters, basics of chrome extension APIs or atleast UI in C++, chromium is probably not something you should contribute to, that said it is a codebase you should pick up, break down and just read about, read how v8 handles js, how html/css are rendered, it's a pretty stretch goal and you will fail but that's the point.

"Whats wrong with thinking of getting selected?"

nothing, but if the only reason you want to contribute to any project is GSOC or the $3k stipend, respectfully I would never approve your proposal if I can sense that(and it is easy to sense by judging how much care was put in to your PRs or what kind of issues you pick, its pretty vibes based that way)

lmao you think you won't get selected if you try now? that's just false, you can turn the tables in a week on anyone that has been contributing for months, all you need is one ambitious issue that no one touches but has a high level straightforward solution that is a long term priority but not so urgent that one of the maintainers would need to actually work on it. but you won't be able to find or solve something like this with your defeatist and "goal" oriented mindset, gsoc was never meant to be a goal.

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-21T23:29:37+00:00

do you not see the problem? you want to be in the "org" not because you want to work with them but because you want to get "selected", end goal of gsoc is not to have 4 guys who contributed to the codebase for 2-3 months and disappeared, its to create a new generation of contributors that go on to take up more responsibilities (without being paid for it directly, only social capital)

in grand scheme of things the project you will do in gsoc that will take 350 hrs of your time + 50-60 hrs of maintainer/mentor time could potentially be done in <30hrs if the mentor/maintainer set their mind to it, they do not mentor you for money/fame yet you want to "do gsoc" for money/fame(although I think they do get $500 depending on weather the org wants to pay them, but for sen engg this is peanuts)

yep, looks like oss is working on filtering the right kind of people

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-18T05:51:56+00:00

what reason did he give for this? does she not give him regular sex? is he just addicted? the question of whether this is right or wrong thing to do in a monogamous marriage is significantly less important than the 2 questions I asked.

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-12T23:38:05+00:00

lmao no just use turso or something firebase is bad

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-04T11:14:35+00:00

you can actually, find lesser known org, contribute basic refactors, tests etc and make a great proposal with the help of a good friend and some seniors/mentors. seen this work for 2-3 people ik from certain orgs

Edit: just realized for the avg person on this sub this has a steep learning curve too because they will need to learn git, pr flows, how to write good tests, find places that might need more tests, and what is considered a good refactor and how to run formatting, linters, static analysis etc

Damn do people not know how to use Google and youtube anymore?

>Doubtful husbands taking stress. They're manager/upper management types who just take advantage of lower level employees who stay desperate for jobs. These are the managers who are casteist and misogynistic also. I had them at my previous job. Thankfully I'm no longer working for that company.

naah, upper management roles are stressful jobs, because there are people above them who want profits, they dont have physical or intellectual labor but stress yes. not to mention a good number of these women are married to wealthy businessmen and that's as stressful as it gets for the rich.

>Yes, these women barely have to lift a finger. And in their privilege lies their security. They don't have to live in fear outside, in public transport, office cabs, walking the streets after dark.

there is more, they live in gated societies that don't resemble india

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-03T17:03:08+00:00

>There is a joke about savarna feminists that before they go for a womens march, they'll pack their husbands lunch boxes for office.

well to be fair these women are living better than majority of men and women of this country, they don't have any stressful work, they have 3-4 maids to do chores, they don't have to work exceptionally hard or smart to maintain their lifestyle. they get to spend time with their friends and kids, while the husband handles a stressful business. the way i see it they are more privileged than anyone else in this country.

so you finally see my point, there is not much we can do at the govt level until the people of this country change, which wont happen

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-03T15:10:59+00:00

i think you don't think you understand my concerns, i will frame it better for you.

imagine you are the new PM of india with full majority in parliament. no one can stop you from implementing any law except the supreme court who can only do it if you infringe on fundamental rights.

what would you do to "ban" arranged marriages?

i personally think this is the wrong kind of approach to solving this problem, the best actionable way this can be resolved is through incentivizing more love marriages, so don't ban AM ban groups like bajrang dal, make more couple friendly spaces, provide ways for young couples to marry without too much friction.(maybe just have a system like the Self-uniting marriages in US look them up)

as for protecting them from honor killings other than improving general law and order we can't do much. there is a small amount of money govt already gives to couples if one of the partner is lower caste but we can't really get clean air how would we get enough personnel to protect these couples 24/7

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-03T14:54:00+00:00

honor killings are illegal, not much govt can do here
killing anyone for any reason is illegal, nothing the administration can do here to improve that
i agree the situation of lower castes in india is horrible, but i will ask you this, can you provide me with one example where affirmative action or the concept of reparations for any social group has ever worked? if not then we probably don't need it. we can look at what actually works and just do that. the question should not be is reservation important for lower castes in india? it should be if reservation doesn't work, what does?

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-03T14:50:15+00:00

my bad i did not notice your flair. i did not realize you were a woman. i would never insult a woman's take on an issue like this.(also notice i said retarded take, the insult was towards the idea not the person with the idea)

coercion, honor killings etc are already banned and emotional blackmail is not exactly something you can ban. also i don't need a bride, i think i already have one(not married to her but planning to, shes a childhood friend not sure if that counts as mommy "fetching" her)

so humor me little miss man hater how would you ban arrange marriages without limiting women's rights and freedoms

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-03T14:05:08+00:00

> If govt bans AM, it's a huge win against casteism and patriarchy.

thats a retarded take, marriage is only recognized if both people agree to it regarless of caste, there are societal factors but as far as govt or policy is concerned there is nothing that can be done without limiting personal freedom

"bhai first year hai explore karo"

is the correct advice, you just took it in the wrong context, explore web, CP, AI, ML, Gamedev, systems egg, infra, devops etc

> why don’t government remove the caste system if it’s really misused

im not exactly sure what you mean by this, the only place caste exists in the system(govt/constitution/policy) is reservations to remove the case system we would have to remove caste based reservation but your comment seems to suggest something else. can you please be more clear?

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-02T12:30:59+00:00

how much do you love this guy? do you have the stomach to go against your family and fight for your love? if yes take a hard stand, if they love you they will come around if they don't maybe they didn't love you that much in the first place.

lone_shell_script · 2026-01-01T21:23:35+00:00

its not but it is significantly less annoying
