    find a community that is helpful anf read a book/do a course teaching you programming (the broader art)

    i can recommend SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs). it is freely available (book/course and the lectures on yt) and teaches programming in a high-level language: not how you do this or that in some language but how computers and their programs work.

    you may need the community to resolve emerging questions

      I found that SICP (lisp version) is very math focused and in general LISP/scheme as a language is not very relevant anymore.

      I’d reccommend against it if you think math or theorethical concepts are not for you or if you want to solve practical problems from the get go.

      It’s a very good and complete coursebook though. It covers almost anything on how “computation” works, and you learn all the base the concepts you find in almost any other programming languages.
