Unix command line conventions over time
There are alternatives to dd like ddrescue (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/disk_cloning#Block-level_cl...), but given it's standard on all *nix machines it's hard to avoid, just need to be extra careful before executing. There are also wrappers for dd, like ddi (https://github.com/tralph3/ddi) for extra safety

What are some neat and useful CLI programs?
I made a small and kinda pointless wrapper for dd because I wanted to check out Rust. It warns you and gives you information about the disk you're about to write to, in case it's a disk. If not it just skips it and calls dd in the background. You can check it out here.

How much did you contribute to linux (or open source) community??
I created 2 applications for Linux, ZeroTier-GUI and Steam-Metadata-Editor. Also ddi but that was more of a personal project to try to use Rust rather than anything else. Both were received fairly well. I also lurk this and other linux related subreddits and provide help wherever I can, which happens to be a lot.
