I am excited to share that I have been selected as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC)2026 fellow with @internetarchive 's Open Library! 🎉
This summer, I’ll be helping engineer the future of Open Library’s tagging system and building tools to clean up and structure catalog data...
I agree.
Verification is one of the most important things for getting great results out of your agent.
Clearly define "done" before code review starts.
A reviewer, human or agent, asked to find bugs without this may still find something that could be improved.
Give Claude checks it can run (bash commands, tests, clicking through the app in a browser) and have it pass that too before it says it's finished.
When nothing blocks merge and ship.

Well, I just wanted to say, "Thank you, Jesus". 🙏🏼

You'll not grasp my happiness that after understanding binary search and how it is used in certain scenarios, I consciously got to use it in my work today. 🤗👌🏽

Proud to be contributing, in my own little way, to making books available to anyone, anywhere. 📚❤️
We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.
Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/…

❤️❤️❤️
listened to the song for the first time yesterday.
got the bass notes (it’s the same 4 in a loop throughout the song)
now I can play the whole thing.
I hope you are ready for when I actually become a proficient bass player. because you will not have peace.
I am looking forward to being a big problem.

Also, I changed my mind and decided to attend the event after I read this article, and the event ticket cost something too. 😤 So, why let it go to waste?

Yesterday, I went to an event after I tried to talk myself out of going, but decided to go anyway, and one day I will talk about how young adults do not really utilize the opportunities they have.

If you’ve ever wondered how @openlibrary runs behind the scenes, my mentor @mekarpeles shared a great look at it.
A team of 3 engineers, millions of users, hundreds of contributors, and a lot of interesting problems to solve.
Really enjoyed this one.

Still feels surreal to see this. 😊
It's been an amazing experience learning, contributing, and helping make books more discoverable for readers around the world. ❤️
📚 Millions of books are available through Open Library. The challenge is helping readers find the ones that matter to them. 🔎
Google Summer of Code contributors Tanishq Sangwan & Chisom Nnamani are helping Open Library remove barriers to discovery, improving everything from reader journeys to book data. 🌍
“I really care about books being accessible to people,” Chisom said. “In Nigeria, we have limited access to physical libraries, so Open Library is something that matters.”
“Now, Google Summer of Code is a wonderful opportunity to connect with open-source organizations and Open Library, where its work directly impacts people’s lives,” Tanishq said.

I'm excited to share that the @internetarchive has published a feature introducing the Google Summer of Code contributors working on @openlibrary this summer!
Over the past few months, I've been helping improve how readers discover books by...

I was introduced to @opencode recently, used it for the first time, and was like, 'You don't mean it!!!' 🤣
I use Claude code & Codex a lot..but they came for their money as usual and I just didn't have that money to give.
Tried out @opencode for the first time to build something & I was shocked about how good they are!
Lmao what a time to be alive!

Yeah... Didn't like the humiliation part, but I loved that website. 😚
Loved the running around, from Github repos to that special website to Google Search to Medium articles, to Youtube channels, and then back to code.
I really do miss that phase. 🤣
We used to go to a special website, ask strangers for help with programming, and get humiliated in return

No words. The human mind is amazing, and above all, God is wonderful! The Lord who giveth wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. ❤️
I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point
Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home.
Nothing in that system is standing still.
The Moon is moving.
The Earth is moving.
Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here.
Adjust here.
Come back here.
And unlike nepa light, it infact works.
There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side.
I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything.
But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

"But every day, I woke up and put in the work, and sometimes, that’s all you need to do."
And I couldn't agree more.
I mean, just keep moving, keep putting in the work, and keep getting better.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful short piece, @peculiarerhis. ❤️
I don't know how much time I can afford for this (I'll only try), but if you'll be interested in what I'm learning and building in my journey as a Software Engineer, kindly join my amazing followers on GitHub here : github.com/Chisomnwa
Love you too. 😉❤️😍
