🆕 post by @toriaburah.bsky.social on "Creating an Issue": The first time I heard the phrase, I was genuinely puzzled. A small voice in my head said, “Why are we creating problems for ourselves?” It sounded counterintuitive. burah.hashnode.dev/open-source-... #Outreachy @bioconductor.bsky.social

During Season 4, I was particularly proud how the organizing team functioned smoothly! And my #outreachy @bioconductor.bsky.social mentees made the team even stronger. THANKS Tosin @toriaburah.bsky.social @katerasheed.bsky.social !!
