I got very Poor Grades that whole term.
And I can't forget those days, we used to hack all night on cython code but missing very important college lectures!
I did not even know how to commit!
But, It was pure thrill. Those were the days, I badly miss today!
And surprisingly I also fixed a very critical bug, that was the very first bug I had fixed in my Life. I started to realize, valuate & appreciate Open source & the reach of OSS!
cython changed my perception about software!
That marked my entry into OSS, and I was writing & optimizing for good code with standards and all the documentation. Until then I couldn't appreciate anything much of OSS.
* I literally danced around after I submitted that bug, and incidentally it got approved and committed too! :D
And it was the very early days of Cython Project <ver 0.11>
http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/ticket/203
And today when I checked Cython Project, I feel awesome within, all around my body; esp the way Cython has grown & is being consumed across!
Power of OSS!
We should be honoring and celebrating every project out there that has done so much to Humanity!
