I didn't 'code' or read any CS related for almost a year. I agreed that now I didn't need more 'input' course material, but rather a 'learn and output' way to rebound.
Since last October, I have been using github co-pilot(because its free, unemployed) to write little python project helper for my finance admin and other daily stuff. Initially I had to 'plan' with AI, broke tasks into smaller tasks and modified a few things. I haven't 'written' a single line of code since January as the model is so powerful they can step thru the changes and debugging. Granted this is a very small project.
I aslo think contributions to the opensource projects would be helpful, for the sake of mental health and having 'real' practice.
I am also thinking about might be start with some opensource project that I have used, e.g. like pyarrows, pandas, jupyter for python, and spark for scala. However, I think I am actually more interested in building a system together, rather than writing 'libraries'.
Do you know how I can find one? I had tried searching via google but its not effective. I guess I don't know how.
I have also tried to find 'volunteer jobs' but not very successful. Again, I think I might not know 'where' to look.
I think my mind is still all over the place after the burnout so would need some brain power from the community.
Thank you!
