Keep studying, building, building and building and maybe one of this days a spark might light up in you to give your wealth of knowledge to the community.
Thanks.

I have experience contributing to Open Source

I wrote a theme and modules for ImpressPages

and also submitted a Pull Request to someone's module in Processwire and was mentioned in the newsletter

The easiest way is picking a code and understanding it, I mean the source code. I read alot of React / Angular and Svelte source code, and when you see what they do, you start to have more understanding.

e.g React Devtool is not that complex to build, but I thought it was until i read the source code. Currently I forked the Svelte Dev tool because I want to fix something.

The more you read their code, the more you get their line of thought.

Open source technologies always change, so you have to stay updated all the time. Study the System software make up like Android, Linux and the programming languages that is compatible with them. Because what is relevant today in the IT world can be absolete tomorrow.
