While I was working on my “startup” one guy wrote me the following: “I lost my internship due to COVID. I’d like to help you guys with your project”.
So, it was hard to us to find some job for the guy but we were open sourcing our job. I told the guy to work on a next version of our open-sourced Python package[1].
After we released it, it went #1 on Hacker News. I put him everywhere in the credits. You can still see him in our “Team” section[2].
The next day he got 2 offers.
