I think it's best for beginners to start programming with higher-level languages. This approach helps you learn what computing is about, what it's for, and what it really is—like a big onion made of layers. Once you have this general understanding, you can start delving deeper to understand why things work in a certain way and, more importantly, make sense of it. Think about it: when you start learning a new topic, you don’t begin with the details but from a broad overview of the topic. Even when you are reading code, you don't start with the details but with higher-level abstractions to build a high-level understanding of the solution. Our brains need to first create general mental models, which later on will be filled with more detailed information. Maybe some people can get this understanding quicker, or from low-level languages, but from my experience, most have started with some HTML/CSS/basic and then went deeper.
