This doesn't happen in a vacuum. If you're not already, find a project and contribute towards it some way.
I assume you either mean financially or in terms of general support and word of mouth. Trust me, I wish I could be a dev so, so badly, but as interesting as code and computers are, I'm light years away from getting in there and being able to fuck with shit. I love learning about programming, but I'm not the best at actually learning it. lmao
I say, as I sit in a first level computer science class, typing this because I'm totally lost in the actual lecture.
Yes, I said "in some way" because not everyone can contribute code directly. There are other things besides money you can offer to contribute (graphic design, community/brand management, communication, general organizational tasks, forum moderation, etc) but funding is usually the simplest and most necessary.
