Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don't understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don't even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so diverse. I want to feel like I know what's going on but I don't. Coding is the future and the future is now and I am lagging severely behind. I guess I'm asking where a bumbling novice like me can learn more about where to start when it comes to programming.

So I recommend Python if you just want general coding, dual booting Ubuntu or some other beginner friendly linux if that’s more interesting to you, or starting with html if website design sounds more fun.

Alternatively you could try R, it’s weird but I like it.
