My first pull request at age 14
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
My name is Neil Naveen, and I'm a 14-year-old middle schooler who's been coding for seven years. I have also been coding in [Golang][1] for two years.
|
|
|
|
Coding isn't my only passion, though. I've been practicing Jiu-Jitsu for four years and have competed in multiple competitions. I'm passionate about coding and Jiu-Jitsu, as they teach me important life lessons.
|
|
|
|
### Codecombat
|
|
|
|
I started coding on [Codecombat][2], which taught me many fundamental coding skills.
|
|
|
|
One of the most exciting moments in my coding journey was when I ranked 16th out of around 50,000 players in a multiplayer arena hosted by Code Combat. I was just 11 years old then, and it was an incredible achievement for me. It gave me the confidence to continue exploring and learning new things.
|
|
|
|
### Leetcode
|
|
|
|
After Codecombat, I moved on to [leetcode.com][3]. This site helped me hone my algorithm coding skills with tailored problems to learn specific algorithms.
|
|
|
|
### Coding Game
|
|
|
|
When I turned 13, I moved on to bot programming on [Coding Game][4]. The competition was much more intense, so I had to use better algorithms. For example, when creating ultimate tic-tac-toe AI, I used algorithms like Minimax and Monte Carlo Tree Search to make my code fast and efficient.
|
|
|
|
### GitHub CLI
|
|
|
|
One day, I saw my dad using an open source tool called [GitHub CLI][5], and I was fascinated by it. GitHub CLI is a tool that allows users to interact with the GitHub API directly from the command line without ever having to go to GitHub itself.
|
|
|
|
Another day, my dad was reviewing PRs from a bot designed to detect vulnerabilities in dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Later, I thought about GitHub CLI and this bot, and wondered whether GitHub CLI itself was being monitored by a security bot. It turned out that it was not.
|
|
|
|
So I created a fix and included a security audit for GitHub CLI.
|
|
|
|
To my delight, my contribution was accepted. It was merged into the project, which was a thrilling moment for me. It was an excellent opportunity to contribute to a significant project like a popular tool like GitHub CLI, and to help secure it. Here's the link to my PR: [https://github.com/cli/cli/pull/4473][6]

|
I hope my story will inspire other young people to explore and contribute to the open source world. Age isn't a barrier to entry. Everyone should explore and contribute. If you want to check out my website, head over to [neilnaveen.dev][7]. You can also check out my [Leetcode profile][8]. And if you're interested, check out my talk at [CloudNativeSecurityCon][9] recording.

|
I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had so far, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for me. Thank you for reading my story!
