how do you guys write this stuff

hi im just starting to learn programming and idk where to begin with anything i see a lot of tutorials but they all seem complicated so does anyone have advice for someone who doesnt know what theyre doing at all?

idk i just kinda google it when im stuck or watch youtube tutorials and then try to copy what they did until it works. is there some secret trick nobody tells you about?? bc every time ive tried a tutorial something breaks at the end and i have no clue where to start over.
