What Can We Learn from Barnes and Noble's Surprising Turnaround?
>I really wish I could have an e-reader, but again, I don't want to spend money on things that will lock me into a single vendor indefinitely and might just arbitrarily go away.

This may be up your alley.

Are there any small form factor readers (a third the size of a smartphone or smaller)?
It's not a commercial off the shelf product, but the Open Book uses a 4.2" screen. There are other devices you can find on places like AliBaba that are kinda small. However, in general you won't find a name brand commercial ereader under 6" that isn't ina phone body. There were a couple at 5" back-when but the industry really settled on 6" as the common base size.

GitHub Code Search (Preview)
This is very useful to see examples of how people have used APIs that are either poorly documented or not at all. Or even that are well documented, really. Going from docs to code is not always straightforward.
To give you just one example, recently I've been using it to find how people have written code to interface with e-ink displays. I usually have the datasheet which lists all the commands the protocol support, but building it all into a valid startup sequence of ~20 commands to activate the display is left as an exercise for the reader.
So the docs will look like this: https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/6/6a/4.2inch-e-paper-spec...
And what I need is a sequence like this: https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book/blob/5c5054c58...

Does anyone know where to find the Open Book ereader as either a kit, components or the completed project?
There is a link to the project early in the article: https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book

6 ways to find projects for Hacktoberfest 2023
GitHub's advanced search. GitHub advanced search provides tons of filters to find repos and issues according to our preferences. You can filter by language, extension, issue labels, number of stars/forks, etc. 🔗 Link - github.com/search/advanced

How to identify technologies ?
Usually when I as a user want to check if a technology exists or is legit I do a GitHub search like a GitHub advanced search or a Google Advanced Search, and for the Google Advanced Search if I want it to search for things in GitHub I will put https://github.com/ in the "site or domain:" field. Google puts more popular results closer to the top so usually I would just click the first result and then look at the number of stars on GitHub and if the number is low (like less than 1000) it's not a sufficiently popular project. You could write code that automates the process of doing a Google Advanced Search or searching GitHub by using Selenium or maybe just making an API call or HTTP request then using something like BeautifulSoup to scrape the site (BeautifulSoup converts the site into an object that you can query). GitHub just uses plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without using a framework like React or Angular so it shouldn't be too hard to scrape.

What do i do to become hireable?
Next, find a project that takes contributions (many do). You said you know TypeScript and JavaScript, so search for repositories in those languages. You can use GitHub's advanced search to search by language, just set the language to JavaScript or TypeScript and click search, you don't have to fill out anything else. Alternatively, if there's a tool or website you like to use, see if it's hosted on GitHub and check the "Issues" tab in the repository's main page.

If not, GitHub recently updated their search feature and it's pretty good.

Best ways to: historically get issues/PRs in a specific periode with some criteria — overview of multiple members tasks like assigned issues, PRs they are requested to review etc?
I can do an advanced search on GitHub: https://github.com/search/advanced, but I find it hard to find open issues in specific repos, that are not assigned to any one.

I am a REAL bad software developer and this is my life
I don't know for sure, but it might be possible for you to make the jump from hobby to professional. There are a lot of technical books on Amazon, there are various coding and programming communities and groups on Reddit and Facebooks, and there are lots of potential codebases that you could try working on on GitHub (I personally used GitHub advanced search at https://github.com/search/advanced ). Sometimes on GitHub they label coding issues for beginners with the "easy" label which you can search for using GitHub advanced search. Oh, and there are coding bootcamps which take a percentage of your income after you're hired, plus there are programs in the US like Revature and SkillStorm that will put you into a shitty junior coding position for two years at $15-$20 an hour but then if you do okay or good at that and get good references you can move to a non-junior level position after that at much better pay. In my experience you usually don't know how well you will perform at a job until after you actually have to do that job.
