🤜🤛Building Better Software Through Collaboration

Khem Raj June 06, 2025 #meta

Open source software is everywhere, nowadays the process is being used beyond software development as well. It is built upon a solid corner-stone - Collaboration

Humility makes programmers better collaborators. They write code as if the next person to maintain it might be a complete stranger—because they often are, even if that stranger is themselves six months later. They document their decisions, choose clarity over cleverness, and resist the urge to show off with unnecessarily complex solutions.

When discussing technical approaches, they advocate for their ideas without becoming attached to them. They're willing to abandon their preferred solution if someone presents a better alternative, understanding that the goal is shipping great software, not winning technical arguments.
