Codecademy & Others

I’m just starting out in the age of AI.

Regardless of what happens with careers, I still want to learn to program (I’m starting with python) and have my sights on sysadmin and backend, type of work. I’d love to one day contribute to open-source distros and have a homelab at some point.

Should I jump in with courses that teach building Agents (for possible career advancement), or simply begin with python, html, css, javascript, etc?

Thanks all.
