I think a very simple solution is to use categories. Tag articles under things like "beginner", "intermediate" etc. Don't be afraid to use multiple categories and group article sets together.

Simple change but it would make huge payoffs UX-wise.

Edit: I wasn't very clear. I realize you have those top level tags already, but I was referring to further group articles that "flow" into each other. That way you can have a "journey" without actually having one :)

Thanks for the feedback! Are you able to share any examples of where a different tag would work better?
Just a quick thought example would be something like:

Article Title Tagged: Beginner, JavaScript, Variables

So in this example the user knowns that it's a beginner set > focused on JavaScript > specific to variables

Maybe oversimplistic, but it's just a concept.
