on /h/, they have a lot of porn you can jerk off to while using AI which will decimate and unemploy programmers

If I was starting from absolute zero I would use something like Learn Python the Hard Way (website) and then move on to a C++ book. If you're starting CS in college then this will probably be the material covered in your first year.
Alternatively, there's also SICP. People will tell you it's a meme but it actually does a good job of explaining the basic concepts of programming. MIT has made it available online.

Learn how to program? You're fucking done. I mean, you're fucking done kiddo. At this point, there's nowhere to even begin on this question. You've decided (erroneously) to devote the rest of your life to a field that is literally, catastrophically dead in the water. No jobs in the field? That's only the beginning of it. You're about to go into debt studying something that is already solved de facto by large language models, only to be entrapped by the same people who promised you a life of coding video games or some bullshit into maintaining the absolute atrocity of a machine they are conceiving. The thing will operate independently in its thought, able to perform every keystroke your limp wrists could ever muster, and you will sloven away, writing prompts for it to enjoy, as it codes away for you, like the little slut you are. You're going to spend years of your life in some dank warehouse, prompting this thing so it can serve the masters, and you will never be recognized. Your consciousness, left to die on this rock, unimagined, unenjoyed, and unlived. You will be a slave to them. They will not let you sleep. You will die before you live.

You don't need a degree to be a programmer in a lot of cases. It depends on what kind of programming you want to do. So decide on that first, what kind of stuff do you want to make, then that will narrow down what language you need to learn

who the fuck thinks SICP is a meme? the Scheme versions were the best possible introduction to programming

>>/g/ will give you better answers for CS-related things than this board ever will
/g/ has actual employed programmers and hobbyists, /sci/ is a bunch of unemployed academics and schizos.
Fundamentally CS isn't a science in the same vein as things like biology/physics despite being called "computer science". You're better off asking people who actually program and not academics who are so far up their ass in theory over abstract obscure mathematical formulations but can't write a sorting algorithm in python.
