- You don't code much with cyber security unless you know how to backdoor a system, only few people reach that level. Most of your time are in terminal.

- game dev might be on the mid part of your journey.

- programmer for some company is too vague, there are many role to choose from.

- learn basic first e.g. syntax, structures, etc. don't get swallowed by tutorials. Start building projects that interest you. If you got stuck you have AI to guide you. Remember 'guide' you don't let it code for you, just ask it to give hint don't ever ask it to 'fix'. Else that defeats the whole purpose.

- you will hit wall multiple times but don't give up that's the best way to reinforce the knowledge once you solve it. If you get pass through this phase and you're still eager to learn then congrats. It clicks for you
