I have a feeling I'm stuck in tutorial hell, and I need to start actually building things. But I don't know where to start :/

Also I'm really bad at syntax. I only know concepts like for loops, while loops, if-elif-elses, etc...

So maybe something that helps me learn more about coding syntax would be helpful.

Thanks!

def main():
    print("Hello world")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I think a small one I worked on was extracting URLs from a CSV file in a certain column. Not too difficult, but a very specific use case.
