Open source: Find some topics that you’re interested in - Astronomy? Biology? Data processing? Distributed computing? Compilers? Geology? And then find the libraries and common software that this field uses, head to GitHub and start fixing issues on different repos until you find a community you vibe with. Discord : there’s heaps of people wanting help on discord, I am currently mentoring approx 10 people who just asked for help one day and we got chatting, some I’ve been mentoring for > 1 year now. I never ask for money or anything the joy of giving back is enough - and they always show me cool things too! If you want you can email me on alain@atomictessellator.com and I’ll send you invites to 20 different tech discord channels to get you started
