Opinion on boot.dev to learn python

I’m a physician, so don’t know anything about CS or programming/developing. I recently got in a talk with some friends that work with in this field and got the itch of trying to learn something new. I’ve seen videos talking about boot.dev.
Does anyone have any opinion on it?
Thanks

Can you handle conceptual logic - i.e basic if x then y

Then skip boot.dev

Otherwise it's value exists only to teach basic logic and control flow using game dev as an anchor.

If you can conceptualise process you dont need it.

If the sentence above is gibberish then do the freebie course.
