You won't become a good programmer in a day or a year. Being in this space means that you are willing to fail day in and the day after, but while failing you must be open-minded enough to learn from every mistake.

Don't be confused by the big stacks and all that is out there. Start with finding out what you want to do. From there research the basic. RESEARCH, not learn,. If you dive head-first your chances of getting confused increase significantly. Once you understand what are the steps you need to take (the basics of what you want to do), that is when you would want to start learning something.

The bottom line is you do not need to learn every single thing to become a good programmer, even software engineers that have been doing this for years are still learning every day. Just take one step at a time.
