Realistic timeframe for learning code

I am not employed and have only been learning for a few months now, but you will progress much faster if you focus your efforts on one specific field rather than trying to learn everything and get any job you can from a variety of fields.

If your focused solely on getting any job and dont have a preference I would say learn front end web dev (HTML, CSS, JS, React/Vue/Angular). It is the quickest to pick up.

I would advise against learning python, javascript and c++. You will never have a job where you use all three of those. It would be much better to just stick with python and get really good at it. You could use python for the backend of webdev.
