Ah! This question which offends as many people as it pleases (because it is a correct question).

Some people in academia are actually trying to solve this issue. You may look at:

1. How to Design Programs : https://htdp.org/

2. Data-Centric Introduction to Computing: https://dcic-world.org/

3. A course based on the above book: https://learnaifromscratch.github.io/software.html

As someone who is "self-taught" and comes from an EE background rather than CS, I appreciate you sharing these!

Knowledge should be open to all. Thank the people who made such resources publicly available to all.
