Community engagement opportunities

[ladeak]

I am transitioning from my role as a .NET developer into an architect position, where I will no longer be doing hands‑on coding.
I am looking for ways to stay engaged with .NET development in my free time (to the extent that “coding” continues to exist alongside AI). I am still exploring what this could look like in practice, and I would appreciate any suggestions.

If you meant by contributing directly to the .NET runtime, you can look at issues that are marked with "help wanted" as your first step. https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22help%20wanted%22

There's also botr (Book of the Runtime) to get yourself familiar with the runtime internals: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/docs/design/coreclr/botr/README.md
