I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to turn my bullet journal style portfolio site into a 30-second video, like a resume in motion. It looked great on the first try! A few rounds of feedback made it even better. 😄 adiati.com

I finally got my portfolio site up! 🥳 It's still a work in progress, but I'm super happy with it so far. 😄 Feel free to let me know what you think! 👇🏽 adiati.com

I spent 2 days vibe coding a Mautic's docs PR tracker & docs review reminder for our devs.😄 I built it not just for myself, but also for future team members and contributors who want to pitch in on reviews too! Links in the comment 👇🏽

I used to hate AI. Until one day, I had no choice but to use it. Not just about saving time. As a polyglot, my brain works differently on different days. AI helped me break through my language barrier and get my ideas down. Read my full story👇 dev.to/adiatiayu/i-...

I often get asked how to move from being a contributor to a maintainer in open source. My path to leadership wasn’t built on hundreds of PRs. It was built by staying longer than anyone else. Read my latest post: dev.to/adiatiayu/fr... #OpenSource

I’ve grown my automated OSS portfolio project with AI, adding Co-authored PRs, Impact Charts, and HTML for a static website. ✨ Read the story and access the repos in this blog post: dev.to/adiatiayu/th... #OpenSource #BuildInPublic #GitHub #AI #Automation

Are the old rules of open-source engagement no longer working? Ayu Adiati explores why contributor engagement is dropping and opens up a discussion for maintainers and contributors to share what's working now. Join the discussion: dev.to/adiatiayu/op...

I see the Hacktoberfest trend: some contributors only show up for the PR count, then never come back. I wrote this post because the real journey and growth in open source happen when you stay long after the event is over. Read the full story here: dev.to/adiatiayu/be...

When I created my GitHub account a few years ago, the handles that I wanted were taken. Lately, I have the itch to change it to be the same as my social handles, but I'm afraid if I don't do it right, it will cause trouble bc I'm still actively contributing 😅

I work with Gitpod for the 1st time today. I created a branch, made all changes, added & committed them. Then, my browser crashed. When I opened it again, my working branch was gone! 😭 Does anyone understand why it happened & if there's any way I can find/safe my branch?

Moving our Virtual Coffee Community Docs to Docusaurus is not as straightforward as I thought. 😅 It's mainly bc the structures & contents are intended to be read on GH repo only. I encountered many errors every time I ran it. But I've learned a lot & I love it! ✨️🥰

I allowed my kid to use my phone to google for DIY tutorials. She was like, "Mom! Do you know that you're famous??? I googled your name. There are so many pictures & websites about you!" Then she jumped & gave me the biggest hug in the world. I just couldn't stop smiling. 🥰

I'm working with Docusaurus. I ran `git restore .` more than 10x, and I have 20+ tabs open to debug within almost 5 hours (even though it's not working yet)! 🤣 This is what I missed all this time. The excitement of problem solving and learning something new. ✨️
