Start Simple, Build Confidence Project: Scikit-learn After the intense first experience with BEHAVIOR-1K, I needed something more approachable. I went straight to Scikit-learn's good first issue label and found a task that seemed manageable: changing relative imports to absolute imports in Cython files. From this

ML-From-Scratch
Machine Learning From Scratch. Bare bones NumPy implementations of machine learning models and algorithms with a focus on accessibility. Aims to cover everything from linear regression to deep learning.
So.. which Open Source project did you chose? https://github.com/eriklindernoren/ML-From-Scratch Okay, I know I said much things about moving out of comfort zone but I am still bit scared and worried. So, I've decided to start from an area that I am familiar with. First of all, this open source project is called "ML-From-Scratch". It's a learning resource that demystifies machine learning by showing the fundamental code for a wide range of models. Past few months, I have been studying Machin Learning with Data science. This project reveals what is actually going on behind the libraries and algorithms so people can understand the core functionality of machine learning (ML). This choice feels right for my "coder to developer" journey. As I contribute to the project, I will be exposed to deeper knowledge of machine learning.

marimo
A reactive notebook for Python — run reproducible experiments, query with SQL, execute as a script, deploy as an app, and version with git. Stored as pure Python. All in a modern, AI-native editor.
Project mention: We're open-sourcing the successor of Jupyter notebook | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-04The successor to Jupyter notebook is Marimo, https://marimo.io/ because they are pure code, not code in json. First class everywhere.

ipython
Official repository for IPython itself. Other repos in the IPython organization contain things like the website, documentation builds, etc.
Pickling + unpickling the object is a neat trick to update objects to point to the new methods, but it's even more straightforward to just patch `obj.__class__ = reloaded_module.NewClass`. This is what ipython's autoreload extension used to do, though nowadays it's had some improvements over this approach: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/14500
