My open source contributions
I’ve worked full time as a software engineer for around two and a half years, since May 2019. Almost all of the code I’ve written has been in closed-source repos, but occasionally I’ve ran into something somewhere else that I was able to fix. I compiled a list of the pull requests (PRs) I’ve submitted that have been accepted upstream. There are 15 PRs in total, and most of them are typos in documentation, but I have a few code fixes as well.
Python
A bug fix, bpo-38932, to a test library in the Python standard library, which was included in Python 3.9.
Two fixes to typeshed, which is where external type annotations for the Python standard library live.
Others
- alexbrainman/odbc is an ODBC driver in Go. It failed to compile on ARM-based Macs due to the Homebrew path for these being different. https://github.com/alexbrainman/odbc/pull/168
- Documentation fix to FastAPI, which is an excellent API framework in Python. https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/1015
Typos
I’m really good at spotting typos, so I’ve fixed a number of these.
