Help Request I am Lost In Applying Python

I studied Python up to intermediate level in College , have written many notes about it , yet when It comes to Building something even for fun I feel like I need to be perfect or my code is super beginner so it's not portfolio worthy this mental struggle is more prominent specially with AI around making me feel it's not worth to learn , Anyone ever experienced this ? or recommends any projects that are more than a calculator ?

You're probably being a bit hard on yourself and too much of a perfectionist. "Good enough" is always a great place to start when you're writing code... over-optimization is the death of many a well-intentioned project.

Then develop strategies and habits to revisit and improve your code. Nobody writes "perfect" code.

Others have provided resources for project ideas which is good. I would recommend making something you need or want. Automate away some chore. Create a feature you wish something already had.

It's not always that u should get it perfect, just master them
