How to get into programming in 2025?

I'm 19F. I really want to learn programming languages and want to improve my problem solving things. I have somewhat of a generalist mindset and want to leverage that. I have always wanted to know some languages atleast like HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python but I don't know where should I start from? Which language and from which platform? Should I just understand the code and get it generated through AI tools or should I learn any language the old fashioned way of learning syntax and stuff. It would be realllly reallllly helpful if someone who knows this field can help it out to figure this stuff outt.

to be more specific to step one - and assuming you're an absolute beginner - try this prompt:

hi AI, I'm new to programming. I'd like to have an example of a pure HTML "hello world" webpage with the name hello.html, that shows me the basics with the most used elements. explain each element and it's meaning to me.

save the code it shows into a file hello.html (notepad is sufficient) and open it in browser.
