This. The best thing about game jams is that you'll better at the next one. You'll learn to focus, not to overshoot the scope, manage your time better and do quick iterations. I've done a few on Itch and the community is really friendly, which provides enough drive for me to submit before the deadline even if the result is quite wonky. If you rate other people's games, they'll probably rate you back, which is great.

One particular game jam I recommend is Trijam [1]. It takes place every weekend, has a fixed theme and ideally you should only spend a total of 3 hours on a game which forces you to do something relatively simple.
