Yesterday, I had decided to learn 4 languages in next four weeks. However there’s one real question. How do I measure my success?

A language read without practice is of no real use because you will forget it within a week. Been there, done that.
First, I thought of doing some assignment in each of these languages viz. GoLang, node.js, R and react.js. But I’ve got a better idea.

Right since my college days (it’s been more than 5 years btw), I wanted to contribute to open source. And what have I been waiting for all these years? A miracle perhaps. Now that miracle is here and my goal this month will be

Goal: Submit at-least 20 Merge Request in open source libraries on GitHub.

Good thing is I’ll be using R for my Data Science practice and react.js is used at my work, so I can decide to not practice them. They will be practiced as a by product of going to office daily ;)

So my goal will be to to focus on Go and node.js specifically.
