In addition to 'just write anything and stick with it', getting someone who knows what they're doing to look at your code and criticize it can be useful.
I was gonna say, having my code reviewed by senior devs and SMEs was the single biggest factor in me progressing as a developer. That doesn't mean you shouldn't research and try things by yourself first, but having your code looked over by expert eyes will point things out to you that could otherwise take years for you to learn to notice on your own.
Why did I have to read so far down to hear someone say "get feedback"? It's core to deliberate practice of any kind.
