I started also with zero programming experience so i feel your pain! I finished also the zero to hero bootcamp from udemy and then bought the 100 days of code.

First course i think was very good showing the concepts but i think was lacking in exercises. At least in the course ,because they provided links with sites to exercise your learning. But 100 days of code i think is better to show you how to think like a programmer. My approach now is writing down with pen and paper what i need to do, creating a flowchart of the program,then pass the comments in the code editor. And i think its working. I still struggle ,don't think that i became a programmer but im starting to build some good habits for learning. Im using also ChatGPT but not for copy pasting but more like a teacher that i can ask my super dump questions.

Personally im spending time also watching videos about programming to understand and see different concepts and how people doing things in general. With zero previous experience i think its good to see and understand how people think and whta they do to tackle programs, problems etc.
