How can I learn how to write professional production level code?

Question

I am a young indie hacker, I know how to hack around a fullstack app, I have built not so complex saas apps, which have earned me some money. But I still feel like I am below those who have worked at some place . Some of these terms people use and other stuff has made me doubt myself at many times and is starting to affect my confidence. Is there a way for me to learn all the stuff they teach at companies by working in Open Source projects? I don't want to take a job, I don't want to spend time on interview and all. All I need is knowledge and mentorship . Will Open Source be enough?

Don't ever compare yourself to other people, especially in terms of apparent success.
> Some of these terms people use and other stuff has made me doubt myself
Sounds like you want to fill out your knowledge base. That's straightforward enough. Note what you don't know, then research it and try it out in practice. It seems like you're an autodidact and that's fantastic.
> Is there a way for me to learn all the stuff they teach at companies by working in Open Source projects?
No. You can't learn to live in the desert by living in the forest.
> All I need is knowledge and mentorship.
The first is on you. The second is on you too.
Have you looked into the people that work along side you on those Open Source projects? Undobtably some of them have production experience.
