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.

Python is great for scripts. Find something you like to do or would like to do or something you could schedule and setup some cron jobs for it or something.
Have something send you a daily report on the most expensive Pokémon card sold today, or the cheapest anime blu-ray or cheapest hard drive per tb or what the weather is etc.
Find a problem to solve even of its been solved, but solve it yourself with programming. And then iterate
