1️⃣ the best authors of libraries have 'felt the pain' and are making it better 2️⃣ the 'curse of knowledge' means authors (can) become less insightful over time 3️⃣ a lack of domain expertise IS something you have to offer ... so, contribute to address a pain you have 🙏 roe.dev/ama #ama

Whats always worked for me, in order to understand a tool or library better, is to implement (at least part of it) yourself. Build a shitty version of it, you'll learn exactly why certain tradeoffs/decisions were made etc

Not only that...sometimes an itch is just "I wish this API worked this way" and maybe it's a better API that the author just never thought about. Don't assume omniscience 😁
