What's the one thing you can do to most improve your C programming skills? In my opinion, adding -Wall -Wextra -Werror to your CFLAGS, is the answer. This flag combo turns on a lot more error checking, and turns all "warnings" into hard errors that stop the compiler in its tracks. This forces you to fix things that technically compile but shouldn't. A lot of commonly done things in C technically generate warnings. Treating "warnings" as "errors that compile" is key to sharpening your skills.
