Your videos have been super helpful, Harkirat :). I got into GSoC this year with the Haiku organization, and I’m sure I wouldn’t have known about it without them. The syllabus you share on your cohort's websites has also been a great guide for me. Thanks for all the videos, and please keep posting more like these. I’m still trying to learn as much as I can from them. Hopefully some day I get a chance to talk to you and get some advice 😀
Never as I graduated 😂 😢
Bhaiya, from where i can get bigger industry projects which are broken down to smaller parts so that i can learn fastly the current and future technologies in depth( I am beginner with no coding experience)🙏🏻 please reply asap🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sir, could you please make a video explaining the main differences between the MERN stack and Java full stack? Which is better for a long-term career? I have completed my first year and only know the basics of programming languages. How can I start my career in my second year? I'm confused about whether to choose AI/ML, the MERN stack, the Java stack, or cloud computing. This should help many other students who are also confused about which field to choose.
Perminder ✅
Really helpful…kindly make some videos for people who are switching their careers to full stack and/or DevOps…what should be their optimal approach and how to overcome career gaps etc.
whats a PR?
When gsoc start
Pajii❤🔥
harkirat ,when your web3 cohort will start ?
Stop making Software Engineering an IIT JEE competition.
BHAI TAKE CARE U LOOK SLEEP LESS
LIFE IS UNFAIR,
I graduated from CSE 1.5 years back and dont know shit working for a 7lpa job (got it luckly, they might fire me anytime), i dont know if these people are talented (+ works hard), btw i too workhard but i think am just a idiot with low iq , i think hardwork without talent is nothing. This videos just push me into depression 🥲.
I atleast have food and shelter, there are people who are in much worse position than me, life is UNFAIR fk this
In 2025 I'll definitely make myself to be capable enough to get selected for GSoC 🔥
next time meeting kirat with the same context (cracking the gsoc)
Bhai can u tell pre requisite for cohort
Pummy fodd diya 🎉🎉🎉
But me toh tier 3 college se hu koi sahi se guide hi nhi karta hai
bhiya iss sal vi gsoc cohort hoga kiya ………so that i can also crack it ………and in 2025 i will be in the your video🤭🤭
I'm 19 and college is starting from August. Will BTech AI ML prove to be the best choice? Or I should go towards WebDev. Suggestions Please
❤
i was thing about resign when I watch this I resigned
Harkirat , is GSoC not open for professionals who do not have a track record in open source development? Is it only available for students? Would love to know
Same time in lost year 2023, i swa your video of how to crack gsoc 24 that day i take printout of gsoc and pasted it on my wall , that is the only thing i have done to crack gsoc and i am watching cracking gsoc 25 in 24 . I hope i achuve it this year i dont get new printout bcz lost year printout still looks good and newer
..

Congrats Karan
Bro that MIT caught me offguard 💀
This is one of my two goals i have in my mind. Praying to god that he gives me enough courage to deal with everyday failures. And yes i'm prioritising to contributing more and more and be at 0.1% of my stack field. See you a year later.

Hello
Can you tell me when your blockchain 0-100 live cohort starts?
I a m waiting to join it
It would be great if you mentioned their GitHub IDs.
Perminder bhai.. Rock kr diye tum to
Hey Harkirat,
Even I was also, got selected in GSoC this year in CERN. I would like to share the experience with everyone as CERN has different process of selection in comparison to all other organisation.
I'll try my best in 2025
Bro, I've noticed that your recent videos haven't been doing well, and I see you've been trying out new things. I'm just a random internet guy sharing my opinion. I don't want you to fade away. Personally, I prefer videos that are 10-21 minutes long, hits the sweet spot. Also, consider trying out different types of content.
Manifestation Time – next year I'll be there in harkirat's video.
hey harkirat can I stil buy the cohort
considering it as most of the classes has been passed
I want to take the 0-100 cohort
cosidering my stage
I have just started with html css and java script with dsa
Next year, I’ll try for GSoC again just so that I can feature on your podcast. This Friday I was busy hence missed this podcast.😩
Can working professional do gsoc?
Congratulations Satyam ❤️ Keep growing, keep developing.
