I'd like to argue the other way: jump into whatever you find interesting and do stupid shit.
Unless this is a computer that your job relies on or whatever, then it doesn't matter how much shit you break, as long as you're learning what to not do next time.
It's pretty much how everyone who is all 'oh no! be very careful and take small steps!' started, but they've just forgotten about having done that.
(I've broken so much shit both personally and professionally, but it just served to make me less stupid in the future. Or uh, at least unlikely to do the same stupid thing twice.)
I'm more of a fan of
:(){ :|:& };:
personally.(don't run that unless you want to crash your shit)
