No, that's literally pajeet tier.
Go read real books.

there's an internet full of learning materials that can be had for free. there is no one best way, so look for a language that has a methodology and use that holds your interest. because ultimately if you're not interested and enjoy it, then you'll never be more than mediocre

sounds like a terrible way to learn to me. I learned by getting a book, reading, and copying the code examples until I understood the principles enough to use them on my own. takes some time to get comfortable.

>wasting time pondering whether or not said method of learning is effective because 'I dont want to waste my time!'
you are never gonna make it

For me the best way is :
>Think about what you want to create
>Search/ask which languages and libraires are used for that
>Start learning ans practice a lot
>Get the shit done and don't overthink

that's the problem with a lot of people though, they wanna become programmers but have nothing specific they want to make

right, this is honestly some pretty bad advice for a beginner. and don't say "if you don't know what you want to make, you have no reason to learn," because it's complete bullshit.

I think a good way to go about it is to not think about it too much and just pick something. Python, C++, whatever. If you really hate it, switch, but try to stick with that until you're decent. once you know one language, learning another one to suit your needs is fairly trivial.
