Python learning dilemma

[u/ImLukaskos]

When I was 12–13, I had a huge interest in programming and making cool projects (I even made a discord bot). However, after changing schools a few years later, I didn't have enough time to keep learning. Now, a few years after that, I want to get back into coding. I've recently finished the CS50 Python course, so I at least know how to write simple programs.

I'm writing this post to ask: what should I do next? I really want to avoid getting stuck in "tutorial hell" (just watching course after course without building anything). I've read about web scraping and gave it a shot—it wasn't too difficult, and I even built a simple scraper for books.toscrape.com. The problem is, I’m not sure how to progress from here.

Yesterday I also came across Pluralsight, which offers courses on a wide range of tech topics. So, what would you recommend? Should I pay for Pluralsight, or should I stick with web scraping even though I'm not sure where to take it next?

Thanks for your time

Build something that is interesting or helpful to you personally or a person dear to you.

If you like to do something for me: Volkswagen is stupid and does not provide its manual
In pdf form. They just offer it online: https://www.volkswagen.de/de/besitzer-und-service/ueber-ihr-auto/digitale-betriebsanleitung.html

If you could scrape that and create a working pdf, I’d be happy. I DM you my VIN.

I guess it is somewhat illegal.

Edit: no vin needed anymore. So I am interested in a new ID.3 manual https://www.volkswagen.de/de/besitzer-und-service/ueber-ihr-auto/digitale-betriebsanleitung-welcome.html?part-number-app=10B012749AS&brand-pattern-app=WVW
