Clickbait aside, this guide is really solid. Though I will warn newbies that it will take YEARS of 1 hour practice a day (in the editor and tutorial), that you will have to build stuff (not tutorials), that it isn’t easy money, and that language doesn’t matter if you pick the top 10. Languages are tools, so pick the best for what you wanna do and do it! You will have to build stuff at one point outside of websites with an blank screen, so get to it right now. Also, programming requires focus, calm manner, patience, and most of all, time. You can get started rn, so do it for at least 30 minutes and build stuff!

Edit: Bonus points if you know how to Google properly (don’t say the PC is not working, say bootloop issue Windows 10 October update), know that the community can be jerks, now how to navigate PowerShell/UNIX terminal (UNiX > PowerShell though powershell is decent), and here’s a bunch of free coding books.
