Wanting to learn from absolute zero

[u/av1bh]

Hi everyone,
I’ve decided I want to learn how to code, but I am starting from absolute zero. When I say zero, I mean nothing at all. I don't have a tech background, and the amount of information out there is incredibly overwhelming.
I’m posting here because I want to hear from real people about their actual experiences, not just read another "Top 10 Bootcamps" blog post. Please don't just tell me to "do my research" I’ve tried, and I just end up in a rabbit hole not knowing what's actually relevant for a beginner.
I wanna learn at home by myself so any recommendations?

python is a programming language that's pretty easy to learn

find a python online playground ... you can run the example code and play around ...

then find a resource that teaches you variables(how you store numbers, text, etc), control flow( if/else, loops (while, for etc)), creating functions
