Highly disagree with these starting points. Thanks for starting this conversation though -

my bad habits took me months and even years to unlearn

feeling you on this ^

We do often recommend the JS30, Kyle's book, and front-end masters --- but not until it's time / and it's certainly not time 'right at the start.' Front-end masters is wonderful - once you already know the whole ecosystem. And Kyle's books are great - but how will you even know if you want to learn JS yet? A book like Exercises for Programmers can teach you how to think like a programmer - and then you can read YDKJS later.

We suggest starting here

Here's a full outline of what we think you should learn in what order - and why: dev.to/perpetual_edu/what-would-be...

Treehouse will just waste people's time.

The video is awesome!
As for treehouse, they have some amazing teachers that explain staff for developers that are at the begging stage of their carrier, in small chunks of data that a junior developer can digest.
I know it is all based on personal experience, but as far as it goes, I had a great one using them, especially their Python courses by Kenneth Love.
