I read the source code of popular libraries and frameworks and write about what I find. It's very React and JavaScript focused because those are the tools I use daily in my current job.
My latest piece is a guest post I wrote on how the microtask queue works in JavaScript: https://careersjs.com/magazine/javascript-job-queue-microtas...

I love seeing vanilla JS projects getting some love. I started one last year (https://github.com/CarlMungazi/aprender-js) and I feel it has made me a better programmer.
If anyone wants to learn more vanilla JS stuff, you should check out https://gomakethings.com by Chris Ferdinandi.

Whilst not directly related to this, I have spoken (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2019/07/javascript-knowledg...) and written (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2019/07/javascript-knowledg...) about reading source code.
If possible (either via docs or guidance from other developers), I find a major API and then follow it to its end point. You will usually come across other major pieces of the codebase this way and you can make a note of them if you wish to do further digging.

For being alive. I thank God for the gift of life because it is not something to be taken for granted.
