LFX Mentorship Showcase 2023

Working under Hippie Hacker of ii.coop on a project that is being sponsored by CNCF TAG Contributor Strategy with the aim to provide a collaborative cloud-native development environment for the wider CNCF community to mentor and onboard new contributors, I learned the importance of collaboration in mentoring and how it can enhance productivity for senior developers, give junior developers an unforgettable learning experience and new contributors a push start. During the project, we were focused on creating a self-hosted solution for infrastructure that can be provided by CNCF using Coder - a software that provides the creation of such environments on any infrastructure that can be provisioned using terraform. This mentorship provided me with the most valuable experience than any previous mentorship as before this project, I mostly focused on a top-down approach to deal with the problems i.e. focusing mostly on codes. But while working on the project, I realized that coding is the easiest of all parts. I learned a lot about systems, the bottom-up approach to tackling problems in computer science, and a lot about infrastructures while working with Kubernetes and Terraform.
