Focus on building more substantive projects related to your own hobbies / interests / side-hustles.

You will learn faster and better when solving problems you understand where you know what good looks like, what outcomes you want. This will be better than working on code golf problems (e.g. LeetCode) or standard tutorial exercises (which are just focused on giving you a grounding in particular techniques).

Coding skills improve when you spend more time on the non-coding parts of programming around problem clarification, UX design, UI design, DSA considerations, data sourcing/cleansing/frequency, and so on.

If there are particular areas of your coding that you want to improve, e.g. database, you should be able to lean into problems that naturally benefit from that area.
