The field is huge, and if you take a wrong turn, you could waste months.
What is your goal? Earn more? If so, then look for jobs in your area and see what is “hot”. The role you call “programmer” is nowadays called “software engineer”. Do a search for that, make a note of requirements from every job you can find (top 50 jobs). Google every common keyword and see if you can figure out which programming language is “hot”.
You will also need to decide what you want to do with that language: desktop, web (backend) or web frontend (I’d recommend to stay clear from fullstack and low level).
The road ahead is rough, but I’m sure you can achieve what you want, if you ask the right questions before mindlessly diving in.

- Zytekaron 5y agoThey're referring to full stack as a single developer. As a team, you can each focus on your respective parts of an application. There are benefits to being a "full-stack" developer for smaller projects, such as understanding all the working bits without needing to communicate with others, but full-stack jobs don't seem to pay as well as a job within a specific scope like backend.
