If I may suggest ways that worked for me (a long long time ago)

  • Contributing to open source. First support (would be answering SO questions nowdays) then small contributions then write your own stuff and get it in the wild
  • Lots of... Let's say strongly held arguments about technical things. A good way to evaluate radically different points of view

Thanks for the suggestions!! I am keeping my eye on open source since I hear that a lot in the podcasts I listen to. I’m almost using the communities as a gateway to get use to offering / asking for advice. Open source still makes me a leeetle nervous hahah.

Great post! I would definitely post about what you have done on dev.to as well where it is relevant. I created a few how to articles on here and not only has it hopefully helped others but it has also helped me because more experienced devs have given me some pointers to how I could improve my code and now I can take this advice to my next project!
