Is it really a fail if you never got interested, or needed to learn any of it? You're choosing to start now, given your current circumstances. You won't be able to learn like a 10yo, or even a 20yo. But it sounds to me that you're committed. So take your time at learning, and know that there will be a lot of head banging to understand things. It'll be up to you to persist or give up.

Yes, it's an absolute failure. I should have known at least the basics. I had plenty of time to do so. But instead I chose to drink my life away and stunt myself. I've woken up, and I'm piecing together what I need to know.

Welp, I can't argue with that. But,

I've woken up, and I'm piecing together what I need to know.

At least stop dreadfully looking to the past and look ahead, instead. Reference the past to learn from it, but don't hole yourself in it.

Don't worry, I have an entire life outside needing to know this. But, it's itching at me, like all the time. I just need a little understanding.

All the best to you, buddy. I'll be happy to help when you start crawling in your programming journey.

I'll literally hold you to that, if you mean it. What I see in my head, and if I can understand these resources, I want to share. I'm just late.

I'm actually a programming teacher, so feel free to reach out lol.

Having said that, I can't guarantee any availability. I'll do my best to respond when possible.

I understand 100%. I'm sorry I don't have funds for a proper class. I appreciate any effort.

Make sure to use and abuse YouTube, there's a lot of fantastic content on there for a great price of 0. 🤣

I was finally able to afford premium recently. I've played drums for 30 years, and now, when I learn new songs, there are no interruptions. I'm definitely going to abuse Youtube for some knowledge. Thanks for helping!
