Make something that addresses a problem you know about based on your own experience. I am 50. I made something which solved a problem in my workplace 15 years ago. It still makes money for me. My programming skills at the time were rubbish. Copy, paste, tweak. No reason why you can't do the same. View your journey as fumbling through learning a foreign language. Rather than joining a book group full of knob-heads who like to make other people feel inferior with their better way of doing things.
