This is a fun question, one I faced at your age a quarter century ago and I had an additional deficit, which was that I had no college degree. At the time the web was just heating up, so I chose to write a free Web server. It never went anywhere, but learning the basics helped me get a job at Microsoft, which was the one of the FAANGs of the time.
