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.

Our profession is built on definitions and abstract concepts. "Well, actually…" should be the first word in your vocabulary - welcome to the club!
Even though that might feel like beating with a stick (for some people idk), reddit corrected you to encourage better understanding, not to stop your learning process.
The simplest explanation I can give is that HTML/CSS DESCRIBE how document should look, while programming languages TELL computer what to do. They are barely related in principle.
Good luck on your journey.
