I think that all of the above are great suggestions, especially the CodeNewbie knowledge library, provided that it’s well-structured.
Regarding the beginners tag, we could have language-specific tags and sub-tags within those. It would also be nice to eventually be able to tailor your feed based on those tags to help people focus.
The amount of resources out there was also one of my biggest problems when I first started learning. And even now, I would find it very helpful to be able to adjust my feed based on what I’m learning. E.g. following the React tag when I’m learning React, and then switching to Vue when I’m learning Vue. That way there is less of a risk of getting sidetracked, and people can even form study groups based on that.
There could then be weekly threads on what people are learning or struggling with based on those tags. Same with coding questions or challenges for beginners. Because when I’m learning React, I want to read about and discuss React, and too much context-switching would distract me and make me less willing to engage. So having a cleaner, customisable feed would help a lot in that regard.

Ooo I love this suggestion! 100% agree that there's just so many resources out there and it can be overwhelming.
