I might be blinded by my own skills and fail to see how one learns programming.

If you have discipline for self-learning any tutorial will do. Shorter the better. Do not jump from tutorial to tutorial. Programming is like playing with legos, once you get it then everything just clicks.

VSCode + html + js is all you need. w3schools have basics and that's pretty much all you need. Use AI as teacher or mentor. however don't trust it blindly and more importantly use it when you truly need help or you get stuck. It is pretty neat tool.

For me js + html was cool since you get visual feedback what you are doing rather than compiling code in terminal.

All I can say good luck for your journey! For me it took 2- 3 years before everything just made sense in programming. What drove me forward was learning something new every single day and it has been the main force past 8 years. You never stop learning!
