23 years in and I don’t think that there is better advice here. Listen. Practice. Experiment.
If it’s something you want to get good at, do it as a hobby. Pick projects that you don’t know entirely how to do. Adversity is a better teacher than anything else I’ve run into.
Learn other languages too. I learned more about C from a year of rust than two decades of C.
The only caution I’d add about doing it as a hobby too is that it’s super easy to burn yourself out. I think that’s why so many of us get into woodworking and gardening lol
