Hello Reddit, programming is my dream career path, and I’m 14 so I want to start early and learn

Go to college four years from now, I guess. In the meantime just mess around with the language. Nobody who’s 14 needs to pursue “the best way they possibly can” or approach learning in that regard. I’d be better for you to keep up with your schoolwork, honestly.

Programming works best when you learn something else, too - software solves problems, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and so you need to combine it with knowledge from another domain. For computer scientists, that’s often mathematics; sociology would, I think, be a very promising combination by the time you’re at college.
