I'm really digging these days to solidify my foundation of software development so I thought this link might contain some useful information. Perhaps it does, but it seems a little abstract.

Being said, I'd rather get deep into the weeds with some technical summer reading. I'd love to get some recommendations from everyone here if possible.

There's too many subfields etc. to make a suggestion. What areas in particular are you interested in?

Another relevant question is where are you in your journey so far? What have you already read? etc.

Thanks for the response. Right now I'm focused on Javascript professionally (NodeJS for the backend and React on the frontend). I'd say my long term goals are to give back to the community through open source in some capacity.

In particular, I'd like to contribute to a library or a framework so I guess that would mean understanding the reasoning and the fundaments of why/how the library was created. Whether that means understanding design patterns of Javascript specifically or software fundamentals, I'm not sure.

Sorry if this still sounds too broad, but I'm growing quite bored of working as a typical developer and need a bit of guidance.
