Living in the u.s looking for experience so I thought to do contract work through lemmy ie Tell me a project you’d like me to build, I build it. What do you gain? A software you want maybe you diddnt have time to build, what do I gain? Experience to put on my resume instead of just projects to say I was a contractor for x person (you) also I won’t put your real name I’ll put the software name. Or i can contribute to your open source long term. Should I make this request on forums or blogs ? Or do you guys think this might be a dead end ?
Yeah I think the hard part is finding which code to work on
The one that you already use. Surly there is a bug that has been gnawing at you and you can be the one to fix it.
I just found stapi.co, a star trek api that is not very actively maintained. I had the idea to bring that project up from springboot 3.0.x to springboot 4.x.x (the most recent one). That idea came ti me an hour ago and thusfar I’ve froked the project,but can’t get it to run yet haha
this is why i recommend everyone going into software use linux and open source as much as possible
then you naturally find projects to contribute to
