Tried to start learning

I thought i would start to learn some coding. Im not smart not stupid not young but still can learn things But I figured I could mess around with it taking baby steps. Boy I was wrong. I barley got past hello world. Youtube is so flawed people give info that dosent match how things respond. People talk like your an experienced programmer. Tried getting grok to help. It was just saying the terminal was finikey and not responding correct. My question is how can anyone learn. Nothing is accurate. Things dont respond correctly. How can someone start to understand?
