Thanks, Aaron. In Japan, it sometimes feels like the overall motivation to contribute to OSS is relatively low. In the past, the language barrier made participation seem difficult, but with the arrival of LLMs, that obstacle has become much smaller.
I'm just an ordinary programmer who doesn't speak English, yet I want to show that even someone like me can contribute. I hope this helps more people realize how accessible contributing can be, and that it encourages wider participation in SymPy and OSS in general. haru-44 2025年12月3日水曜日 0:29:14 UTC+9 [email protected]: > This is awesome. > > I really think it's important for us as software practitioners to > write and reflect about our technical work, whether that's in books, > blog posts, or even just commit messages.
