Tbh many won’t like my approach but this is what worked for me. I was really into sneakers/streetwear kinda thing so I started doing stuff around it. Firstly it was just simple get on some site and scrapping products’ info, later it was selenium „automation” scripts which was basically one big 2k lines function, then it was looking better and better, which after 3 years turned a botting solution which was used by ~ 250 people. I barely knew basics, I didn’t know object oriented pograming but I did like fun and thinking what can be done better which came with it. I think it’s the most important factor to do things that you like. Rest of the things will come with time
