It's been awhile since my last post, and I'm sorry for that. I'm sure all of my readers have been greatly disappointed in the last few months. In the meantime though I was able to accomplish one of the goals I've had since first becoming a Software Engineer! I made my first open source contribution. It wasn't much and it's not something I think people would traditionally write about, but I enjoyed it and got a lot out of it.

The project I contributed to is an Android application. It is the Android client for my favorite software engineering podcast: Software Engineering Daily. If you haven't listened to them, please go check them out at their website. Definitely worth a listen, and you'll advance your career at the same time with interviews and knowledge about current trendy topics. I went to the github URL for their app and combed through issues looking for anything easy I could get my hands on. That ended up being implementing a share button.
