I almost made the same mistake with a course that said beginner friendly in the title. Turns out day 1 was installing stuff and by day 2 they were already doing functions and arrays like it was nothing. What helped me was hitting up free stuff like freeCodeCamp and the Odin Project first, then once I actually knew the basics I could spot which paid courses weren't lying about being for beginners. Also check if they show a sample lesson before you buy, because that one move would've saved me like $80.

Man, I used to be that person who gagged at the smell alone. My ex kept them in the fridge and I literally made him store them in a ziplock inside a tupperware cause I couldn't handle it. Then a friend dared me at dim sum and something just clicked, that soft dark yolk is basically umami butter once you get past the look of it. Now I do the same thing you do, half of one over rice with a little chili oil and it makes a boring lunch way better. Try it with a splash of black vinegar and a pinch of sugar mixed into the soy, sounds weird but it cuts the strong taste real nice.
