As much as I like the idea of pointing newcomers into the right direction, post says basically nothing at all. All 5 points can be used for literally everything not specific to coding really.
Coding and CS in general has become so huge that finding a place to start can be very overwhelming, so just linking some resources won’t do the trick.
A beginner should ask himself “what do I like to do” which then would point into a direction of what programming language to use. E.g. “I want to automate my daily tasks” would point towards python. Whereas "I want to make own game’ would point towards the unity world and C#. “I want to make my own website” to javascript. And obviously “I want to write almost unreadable loads of boilerplate code” would be java.
From then on your resources could make sense to explore.
Also “talk to people” is easier said then done. Most people not in a programmer bubble don’t even have the access, so linking to programming communities would be nice.
Hope my 2 cents help to make it a bit more concrete
Even just listing general “wanna do this? Learn this” advice is immensely helpful, as you said I have no idea where to start. Automating daily tasks sounds super useful.
