As a beginner in programming, learning programming itself is supposed to be what's exciting to do. You're coming to know a whole new way of thinking and doing. There have been an enormous amount of beginners before you; of course all the things beginners can accomplish already exist. Many have turned into experts before you, also; of course many of the things only experts can accomplish already exist. But, it's all new to you. As a beginner, your job isn't to create, it's to learn and improve, to understand. Meaningful creation might come later. You can't do that if you never do anything at all. You have to start by learning what's possible, and that means doing things that have already been done, for yourself.
