I did not appreciate it at the time but CS 61 abc absolutely transformed by foundational understanding of computer science and the concepts they push are absolutely and non-negotiably important for someone to learn.
My only recommendation is to learn programming in a more useful and productive language like C++, as the thing you do not want to do in CS61A is to simultaneously learn to program and learn the concepts in those courses. The right way to think about it is those courses are trying to make you go “ohh that’s how things actually work”.
