Hola, i'm ryzrr, working on webpack-doc-kit as part of GSoC 2026 with the webpack org. first post here, I know I'm a bit late 🥲 gonna keep it focused on what i actually did instead of writing a whole essay about my feelings on open source, will definitely write but in the next blog post :)
my part of the project is CI/CD ,deployment automation and release awareness for the pipeline. sounds interesting ,right ? but let me tell you it's the stuff that quietly breaks everything if you get it wrong, so i'll take it.
community bonding
mostly just read stuff. issues, existing pipeline code, how versioning worked before i touched anything. also figured out how my work overlaps with my team mates so we don't end up building the same thing twice by accident & followed by a daily conversation on Discord and discussions and a onboarding meet.
barely wrote any code this phase. felt weird at first not to be shipping anything but turns out understanding the thing you're about to automate is kind of important. who knew.
