Learn to walk before you run and be humble. Have your goals, but I would assume you're in your late teens or early 20s. Your goals may not align to Real Life, and that's OK.

Don't waste time on kicking yourself for not being some "superstar" developer. There are a lot of not-superstar developers who make a huge difference in computing.

Most of the NT kernel team is unknown, by and large. But they had an oversized impact to the computing world. Same goes to Linux kernel devs.

I’m in my early twenties, still early. I know the goals sound ambitious, but I’m serious about them and moving fast. Appreciate the reminder, most people who really move the needle aren’t loud about it. They’re just sharp and consistent.
