Today at 1pm (GMT-3), join me and @leonardoventurini for a live coding session where we’ll build a real-time chat app from scratch using Meteor.js 3.

A video like this coming from the core team is really exciting. In the future would you consider a live code along (more of a codebase deep dive than writing new code) of meteor itself? Perhaps show the internals of Blaze, show how the db tailing works, etc. I would like to contribute to the development efforts in my free time but don’t know where to start

I think that is a great idea! Maybe @leonardoventurini is interested in this kind of live coding, too.
Let’s see what he says

I think one of the greatest benefits for anyone, wanting to contribute to the core, would be an overview of the overall architecture.

This.
I am an experienced JS dev who would love to contribute to core (also have been using Meteor for 10 years) - however the learning curve for the architecture makes truly understanding the ecosystem difficult.

I love the idea, we could start with that next Monday, how to run from checkout, testing, and a basic architectural overview @gabsferreira

An update: we decided to do a second part building the chat app next Monday and start this series diving into Meteor internals on the other week, August 19th
