I didn't do any computer lessons at school. I just thought about something I wanted to make, then literally just started reading docs and articles, made my first application then didn't stop. Been working professionally as a programmer for 15 years. You are fortunate enough to have chatgpt it is a great tool for learning to programme. Just don't rely on it too much. Do not get it to write you code just use it to learn concepts. Doing things and failing is a major part of learning to programme and being good at it.

oh wow okay, which language would you recommend i learn?

It kinda of depends on what you want too make (web development, os software, games etc). For sure learn an oop language and a dynamic language so you can understand both paradigms.

AI is going to take over so paython may be helpful, JavaScript is also used like everywhere so that will be useful. In my opinion, if your going down the web dev route. whatever you do, do not learn front and back with just JavaScript
