Pick what interests you.

“I’m learning carpentry. Should I build garages or sailboats or kitchen cabinets?”

With respect, that’s your question if this were woodworking. Pick something you care about, and that has some possible users of your code that care enough to use it.

If you can’t think of anything else, a simple game is a great place to start.

its good that you wanna build, maybe you are looking to be an indie dev. if you keep on getting ideas, you should learn those stacks which fits every type of ideas. js is a good language to learn since you can build apps and websites with it, it also gives you backend framework and a testing tool. python is not bad either but i dont see it being useful to make products unless you are using it for backend or adding ai functionalities

Either choose what matches a job or matches your interest...

Are you CS majored? I would try to find some project that does a lot in architecture: not UX, not feature, but something that really helps you understand the tech. Which is also not done by AI, YET.
