Ask HN: Resources for CS and software eng for a sharp middle school dropout?

I have an adult friend who wants to learn about CS, mainly for fun but also to improve professional prospects. She dropped out in (American) middle school. She's incredibly sharp but suffers from math trauma and general anxiety about school and academia -- so denser texts, stuff that assumes significant math preparation, and traditional classroom settings or resources intended for those aren't ideal.

She responds very well to videos, shorter written resources, interactive and project based work. The problem we've been finding with videos is that lots of the codefluencer stuff that comes up in a naive YouTube search seems to be either straight up wrong garbage, highly superficial, or expects lots of math preparation.

Any suggestions are appreciated. So far she's doing well with CS50 video lectures and Khan Academy

Also interested in resources for people mentoring folks learning CS/software eng -- that's the position I'm in!
