Bro, buy a Claude Code subscription and have some fun vibe coding. AI will dominate coding in the next 5-10 years.
Stay away from vibe coding, you are a faggot if you vibe code and call yourself a "programmer". Now that that's out of the way, there are a lot of free resources online, one of the best sites in my opinion is w3schools dot com. It's completely free and offers a straight no bullshit guide to dozens of languages with no complicated jibber jabber. Most concepts in programming are explained efficiently and understandably, in my opinion at least. I always keep a tab open in my browser if I forget some syntax, it's a very useful resource for beginners and also the experienced.
I was going to post something related, but I'll keep it here and yes anyone can code, making money is a different topic.
If you want to work on clearnet you're going to need AI, if you enjoy coding and the process then you may become reliant on DN related coding to some extent.
In 2025, that should be among the first things you confront.
I honestly I feel like I've become worse at coding to some extent because of working on clearnet for some time post AI boom. People who shit on vibe coding (still not 100% sure what that means) and those who use AI for everything, have very valid opinions. It's not just shit talk, learn the basics of your language and you won't regret it. there's plenty of free resources out there if you're willing to take your time.

The best way to get your foot in is to find something you're passionate about, like games, or if you have an idea to make something differently. Find a way to make something from the ground up. Whatever you do, plan things out, programming is more about problem-solving than just knowing a language. Do some research, avoid too many tutorials, learn how to read the documentation, do some planning, and start a simple project.
This whole process can take a lot of time to do it well, and ignore what people are saying about AI. AI can be a useful tool for research, planning, and structuring things, but it is not something that should be used to write your program for you. Large language models really struggle at making something unique and are trained off of a load of bad code.
Make sure that programming is something you actually enjoy doing as a hobby before you try to do it professionally. I've known plenty of people who wanted to learn code, but in the real world didn't enjoy it as their full-time career.

Python! python is less efficient than C but does everything, countless libs to make your life easier
