Okay, so I was digging around the internet, trying to find some cool open-source stuff, and I stumbled upon this name: Greg Lunsford. I didn’t know who he was, but the name kept popping up, so I got curious.
First, I Googled him. You know, the usual. Just typed in “Greg Lunsford” and hit enter. I got a bunch of results, some LinkedIn profiles, some articles, and then I saw something about GitHub. That’s where I usually find the good stuff, so I clicked on that.
This took me to his GitHub profile. It was clear the person was a programmer. Now, instead of aimlessly browsing, I decided to look at his projects. I clicked on the “Repositories” tab to see what he’s been working on.
- I saw a bunch of different projects listed. Some had names I recognized, others were totally new to me.
- I started clicking on a few that sounded interesting. For example, I opened one, which was written in Go and that pick my interests.
- I scrolled through the code, trying to get a sense of what it was all about.I looked at the README file, to get the overview of the code.
I spent a good hour or two just browsing through his different projects. I didn’t understand everything, of course, but I got a good sense of his coding style and the kinds of things he’s interested in.
Then I go to other projects, it seems that person really into Go and low-level stuff. It’s all pretty impressive.
Finally, I decided to clone one of his smaller projects to my own computer. I used the `git clone` command in my terminal, and within a few seconds, I had the code on my machine.
I opened the project in my code editor and started poking around. I haven’t actually run anything yet, but I’m planning to do that next. I’m just excited to see how it all works and maybe even try to contribute something myself!
