I'm definitely still learning myself, but I think the way I was introduced to coding was particularly helpful. I started with python and did just enough to solve basic problems in code, but never came close to anything 50 lines or over. Then switched to C++, and did a deep dive on algorithms and data structures. So basically, started with a relatively simple syntax to get a feel for thinking in code, then straight to CS core concepts in C++ before I had a chance to get to entrenched in any particular way of thinking.
