How Open Source Changed My Life with Max Stoiber

We spent a day with Open Source-“Wunderkind” Max Stoiber in Vienna. Despite his young age of only 23, Max has achieved incredible things: he's created react-boilerplate and styled-components, his start-up, Spectrum, was recently acquired by GitHub and he gives talks all over the world. Learn more about his journey - and how he dropped out of university (twice!) - in this mini-doc.

At about 9:40 was the most beautiful moment ever. It is all too rare for a father to say he is proud of his son. It only happens when the son truly does something great. It almost never happens genuinely on camera. Great job you guys.

@sakulgo19 4 жыл бұрын

This is very inspiring. As a CS student I can relate very much to the feeling of university not practical enough. But I am already very much at the end of my bachelor. So I will finish it but I think about getting my hands dirty working on open source and working somewhere instead of a masters degree.

Thanks dude, you're an inspiration, I'm 47 y.o. and starting to study programming, I hope to contribute to the Open Source Community in a near future, best of lucks! And finish University, is a PIA but it's good for mental agility, trains you to think more abstract and in different ways, math is the basis of computing, so will teach you optimized ways to do many things, and just the mental exercise is great brain gymnastics, you'll thank yourself later, plus the title which opens more doors, cheerio
