That's an awesome article [Michael Larocca](https://hashnode.com/@MichaelJudeLarocca). You have highlighted amazing points to get the experience and get a job. I like open source and I created my YouTube channel and hashnode blog to learn things myself and share them with others. The journey is amazing and I really enjoy it.
