Pick one language. Learn the common concepts first, then the ones specific to that language. That's your foundation.
Then pick your stack: a frontend framework, a backend framework for your API, and a worker if your use case needs one. Add Postgres as your database — it has the best extension ecosystem of anything out there. Add Redis if you need in-memory speed.
That's it. With those pieces you can build most things. CRUD is not a limitation — it's the foundation everything else runs on.
Once that's solid, move to AI. Use the SDKs and APIs, build on top of LLMs, that's where the on-demand work is right now.
After that, infrastructure. Pick one cloud provider and learn it by building on it — but only do this if you have income funding the learning cost. Cloud bills are real.
Then DevOps, cloud operations, and everything that keeps systems running in production.
That's the builder path.
If you're optimising for big tech — Google, Meta, Microsoft — the path is different. Pick a language, grind LeetCode, master data structures and algorithms, crack the interview, get the job, then learn the cloud on their dime.

You juste need to build something you like and search about the best way to do it with a programming language. Then learn the programming language by doing the thing you like.
In 2020 I liked creating video game, and I was 15, I begun learning C by passion. And my path in Computer science begun like that.
First and first you must love what you are doing and then all will come naturally. The learning part is not a problem, it's just a step to achieve what you are trying to do. And by the end of your journey you will notice that you are building something cool.
And don't forget choose the programming language depending on what you want to do, and if you don't know how to do it, ask questions on forum, you can't learn alone, others developers with more experience will help you.
