on it).

As Mike says it depends on your interests. But one thing that is almost
always welcomed is improving the tests, and it is unlikely that it conflicts
with other people's PRs (unless they're changing that part of the code and
need to update those tests. Improving documentation is also good and you can
do that while reading the code. Usually I just start cloning, compiling and
changing things as I read, "if I understand this correctly, this change
should not break the tests, if I understand this, this other change should
break the build", etc.
But again, is up to you.

Hey Gabe,

That's diving into the deep end for sure! :)

What are some current things that are lacking in Bitcoin core? Or am I
better off making something else for the ecosystem?

That depends on your interests.

Many of the highest priority tasks in Bitcoin Core are rather
complicated, unfortunately, even for people with experience. You can consult
the issue tracker to get a feel for it.

Alternatively, there are lots of wallet apps out there and plenty of more
straightforward projects on them. However they may have less of a research
flavour.
