railsdevs.com VS CodeTriage

I'm also building a reverse job board for AI developers like me to find full-time, part-time or contract work. Developers can make a free profile to promote their AI/ML skills and hiring companies can search the profiles and contact developers through the platform. It's an open-source open startup that's a fork of a similar project for rails developers.

railsdevs.com - Specific to Ruby on Rails

Other than reading, the best way to learn domain modeling is to read a lot of code, e.g. Rails codebase (to learn how to model the domain of web applications) or open source repositories (a good one is Railsdevs). Over time, you'll find and understand the common patterns enough to use on your own.

To find a freelance, it could depend on your location. There are https://www.malt.uk, https://railsdevs.com

Rails Devs - https://railsdevs.com/ - create and businesses reach out.

So far I've been using the Rails Guides on testing and studying the source code of railsdevs.com. Any guidance is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Hey, I totally agree with you. Linking to the entire newsletter can be quite overwhelming and comes off as spammy. It would be great if you included the specific links to the tweet or the GitHub repo mentioned in the newsletter. The links you provided, https://twitter.com/joemasilotti/status/1639261944652914688 and https://github.com/joemasilotti/railsdevs.com/which, are definitely more helpful and provide a better user experience. Thanks for sharing!

RailsDevs - Rails dev specific

I recommend Joe Masilotti's project: RailsDevs. Very well-written and follows most of the Rails best practices. It also uses the Rails recommended front-end stack with Hotwire, Tailwind, etc.

3. Open Source Contribution

I wrote a book with a chapter on how to write docs for other people’s code https://howtoopensource.dev

I also wrote an open source tool for writing and testing tutorials https://github.com/zombocom/rundoc and another that will email you undocumented methods of open source code so you can practice writing documentation https://www.codetriage.com/.

CodeTriage helps you contribute to open source by “picking a handful of open issues and delivering them directly to your inbox”. (Source: CodeTriage)

Here are open source projects listed https://www.codetriage.com/ You can filter for "C".

The biggest untaped potential (IMHO) is not one company funding 1 full time maintainer, but EVERY company allowing and encouraging EVERY developer to help and work with open source. This was the basis of my web app https://www.codetriage.com/. I have a chapter on it in my book How to Open Source (https://howtoopensource.dev/), and I talked to Yehuda about it for about an hour after my last talk at Philly ETE.

You can also use websites like up-for-grabs, goodfirstissue, or CodeTriage to find projects with open issues. Find one that looks easy or interesting to you and comment on it, asking if you can take a shot at it.

I recommend these resources to help you contribute https://www.codetriage.com/ (free) and https://howtoopensource.dev/ (paid). DM if you can’t afford a copy.
