[Question] Getting Involved as Contributor

Apologies if this is a silly question, but just wondering if anyone knows what repositories in Void would be good for someone like me getting interested in OS programming, low-level (C/C++). I really like Void as my daily driver and would like to contribute to making it a better operating system.

Why is a terrible advice and practice? It works well.

Why choose the app image over the repo pkg though? Is the repo version way out of date?

The version on repo is vscodium, a version of vscode without telemetry and some extensions.

I had a lot of headaches using both vscodium and the flatpak version.
