So much this. There is a trend with these "techie" youtubers giving advice on which programming languages to learn first or which language is the easiest, etc... They are all missing the point of programming.

Which is the exact reason why when people ask for a language suggestion to start with/learn, I tell them all the same thing: "Oh sure, go through the CS50 manual on MIPS!" Personally I can't think of a period of study that affected my ability to problem-solve/reason about problems more than my time studying MIPS.
