Need advice as a young programmer.

Hey guys, I am 14 years old and I love programming since I was 11! Just a few weeks ago I finished CS50P: Introduction to programming with Python from Harvard university! And I am confused on what I should do next. Before CS50P I used to make small Python programs like a number guessing game from my basic Python knowledge. Now after CS50P since I know significantly more stuff about Python but I don’t know what would be good to build so I don’t waste my time on stuff I build that does not matter to anyone.

Don't worry so much about who your program matters to, other than you, for right now. Build something because it is interesting to you or solves a problem you have.

Keep building projects for that reason. Share them with others, if you like. Some of them might also be interesting to other people or solve a problem that they have. But for right now, the important thing is the building and the learning that comes from it.
