2. Reflections on Working With the Git Community:
    https://atharvaraykar.me/gitnotes/final-reflection
    This is a blog post that I wrote mostly for myself, and other people
    interested in contributing to Git. It covers my personal experience
    with my time here with the many ups and downs. I also wanted to thank
    all the people who helped and collaborated with me in these 14 weeks.

Good idea on trying to separate the reflection part of the blog from the
actual final report blog. This way, you didn't have to worry about the
report getting too long due to the reflections ;-)

You could consider linking each of these to the other ones, though. That
would help tie things up.

Okay, that's a good suggestion.

Some other thoughts:

This mild dogfooding went a long way into making my work feel far more
enjoyable and meaningful (if working on a project used my millions was
already not meaningful enough).

Dogfooding is one of those thing that's surprisingly effective at all times :-)

BTW, s/my millions/by millions/

Right.

CoViD.

Good to know that all are well. I resonate with what Zheing Hu says. Let's
hope we get through COVID-19 smoothly.

This blog will continue, with a renewed purpose. I will be writing down
important things I learnt in my time and bugs that new contributors
could work on. I believe that writing guides and making contributions
easier has some of the best effort-to-impact characteristics that
I am looking for.

Very true. They are always helpful. I believe MyFirstContribution is
a testimony for this. It's glad to know you would like to help
contributors in that way :-)

This won't be the last time you will see me on the list, of course. I
still have patches waiting to make it to the list, and other work
undergoing review—the only difference now is that it won't be under the
GSoC banner anymore.

Great!

Have a great weekend!

Thanks and hope you have a good weekend too! Also, thanks for all
your contributions so far! Hoping to see more patches from you on
the list :-)

Thanks for the time you set aside to help me as well!
