Thank you! Yes, I do love coding. I like seeing the problems I try to solve getting solved and the solution working!

It's interesting that you suggest contributing to the community aside from practicing. Though I'm not at the level where I can fully help others but I will try as much as possible!

Thank you again for taking time to answer a thoughtful and useful advice TvT. I really appreciate it, and for the email as well :)

There's no such thing as a specific level where you can help others.

I'll give you an example of how you can contribute to the open source community.

Assume you're starting a JavaScript project, and you're requiring the use of a certain module, say a normalizer which takes an email address and gets rid of all capitalization.

What you can do is access the repo of that project, take a look of how the code is written, then take a look at the issues in that repo. Figure out if you can fix anything, then open a pull request for it.

Get your hands dirty early-on.
