I wanna learn to code. I've been stuck in the basics for to long and i really wanna move forward. But still don't know what I wanna code, so that was also a problem.

Yep, same here. I want to learn a programming language as well but I haven't really made big progress so far.

even though it's a cliche, I'd suggest you to start with javascript, it can be used for a bunch of things, from there you can decide if you like what you're doing, or you prefer low-level stuff.

tangentially, for a high-level language the syntax most resembles lower level stuff (compared to python at least). i felt the transition from js to c was smoother for me than my classmates when i started using c at uni.

I know I little bit is c++ and python. I was thinking that starting with web development might be a good start. My problem is mostly a lack of focus. Wanna learn but I have no idea what projects i wanna do, so i had no real reason to go forward. But I really like it, and might be useful for me soon.
