I started learning Python almost 2 months ago, Feb 2021. I am 72 years old, 73 in April. My goal is freelance programming. I do have 20 years ago history as a hardware person, so it probably helps a little. My daughter who is 46 years old started to learn to program 2 1/2 years ago. She has been at a full time programming job for a year now, works from home, has 2 children and a husband. Bottom line... you can do whatever you "want" to do... Good Luck!

Same here, I'm 35 with 2 kids working full time and going to school. I think another piece to consider is the cost. I wouldn't recommend going into a lot of debt. If you can, pay it as you go or see if you can get a grant or scholarship. I think there are some scholarships aimed for adults getting their first degree. A degree from a local college is going to look just as good as one from an expensive one. There are a lot of other things to consider like the time it takes from your work. But if I can do it, then you can too. I think my work has only benefitted from the education I'm getting.

I quit my job 2 years ago working in a crappy accounting and finance role and started doing a degree in data science. I have Zero knowledge and I had to learn R which was twice as hard as Python, over the year it changed my thinking abilities and to be comfortable to be uncomfortable in data science. Because this is what it will be there is no right or wrong way its the unknown and I do not know, certainty is the hinderance and the Impostor Syndrome that will be there eating you as you learn. But the remedy is that there is no cure for impostor syndrome its more about taking a step and say I have done something a bit better than yesterday is more than enough. Even billionaires in tech industry are suffering the impostor syndrome so you are not alone. I started to change my career in my late 30's, my colleagues in my data science degree are in their mid and late 40's and I have people in 50's and someone who is 63 years old doing data science now...No joke!

I came across your KZfaq videos today trying to find more diverse opinions on learning programming and data science generally, and I was really taken aback by what you said at 3:49 , exactly how I’ve felt every time I’ve pursued more technical work than what I am used to. I am a nurse by background but for the last two years I have led the implementation for the first web and mobile-based patient platform app at an NHS trust doing the analysis and build primarily, but also the project management side. Despite all this I still feel like I fail every time I try to branch out into learning programming and software that is industry standard because I don’t feel like I will be good enough. Be it age or experience, I always think there will be something missing if I went for a job because I haven’t been coding since I was a teenager. I really appreciated hearing this and it’s given me the motivation I needed.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side brother! All jokes aside, Buddhism describes 5 hindrances that get in the way of accomplishing tasks which are not urgent but important. Those 5 hindrances are desire (things that distract you from task at hand), ill will (aversion to difficulties you face while executing your tasks), slot and torpor (lack of motivation), restlessness (anxiety), and doubt. These five hindrances almost always interfere in combination one's ability to work towards long term wise goals. The person asking the question clearly is hindered by the last two. The restlessness (anxiety) is overcome by developing a sense of contentment in the good path of learning this interesting stuff you have chosen for yourself. The doubt is overcome by having a clear map and this will require following people like the one on this channel and also you can connect with folks like Lex Friedman on Twitter. Stay blessed!

You are right, its never too late to learn coding. But to get a job as a professional developer is a different thing. I can tell you for a fact that there are not many developers over 40 years old. That how i see it in the corporates anyway. There are outliers at 50-55, and they tend to be very good at it. People tend to hire people like them. So it follows that if you look over 40 you will start finding it hard to get hired, unless you are exceptionally good. To get a junior role at age 40+, i've never seen it in 25 years working. But, to learn coding at home, no age limit on that of course. What happens to developers at 40? I don't know, I can only speculate. If you can get away with it, edit your CV to obscure your age and dress a bit younger than your years. That might buy 10 years.

@Viperion444 10 ай бұрын

Don't be discouraged. You've already succeeded in something: starting and dedicating time to it. I'm 39, turning 40 next April. My career has been sort of "decimated" by AI and I have several ailments that stem from 2 major health issues I was diagnosed with back in 2016, which truncated my "experience" (as the employers like to say). I'm thinking about learning to code so maybe I can escape the next spree of unemployment that I see approaching; but not only that, I have also always been curious about such area of knowledge. Since I feel I have lost most of my capabilities for absorbing knowledge and my cognitive power after chemo, full-body radio and whatnot, I'm always afraid to take formal lessons in anything, as I feel I would be wasting my time and money. The good thing is that coding you can learn from home, at your own pace. I cannot give you a super positive success story to cheer you up, but I can tell you that you've done way much more than I have, and I do admire you for that. I guess I am the one taking motivation from you. Don't give up, alright?

It's like you made this video for me..I have been delaying what I want to do because of age, fear of failure ..etc etc....I start and then I give up because of these reasons..I hope I keep myself motivated this time..Thank you.

You can use Google translate in France, Giles! I used that not only to translate menus in restaurants but also to communicate some tricky sentences. It's not ideal but serves the purpose

I am 59 years old and just started learning python. If you think you are too old to code, you probably are. As for me, I"m going to keep on doing it until I succeed.

I. Just. Love. You. Thank you SO much for making this video. I'm going to fave it, and save it to my python folder, and I'm going to watch this video every day to remind me of everything you're ssaying here. Because you are so completely right, and you are so insanely inspiring. Thank you so much for being you. PLEASE make more videos like this. You are like the James Burke or Carl Sagan or Neil Degrasse Tyson of computer science and python AI philosophy. Thank you so much. You are an amazing scientist and an amazing person.

One thing I had to unlearn, is a lot of people do not have one career path for life. I think most of us know that one person who was either a stay at home parent, or worked an entry level job for 10 plus years and then learned a skill. The thing is, the job market changes so fast, you are almost forced to be on your toes and constantly learning new things.

I don’t think it’s impossible, but the transition becomes more expensive. As an undergraduate switching majors to pivot your career is cheaper than having to invest in online courses and potentially go back to graduate school to make it happen.

As a car guy at 6:28 I see that you did that but about the car it'd have been better if you showed dumping the clutch and doing a front wheel burn out. I see that you've done this before and doing that here would've been so good. And btw great cinematography

30y old, LOL! I am 58 and would like to become Data Scientist. Additionally I am a little handicapped. Let me admit that I own a doctoral thesis in theoretical biology and, 10 years of coding experience, data analysis, math and modelling. What about my perspectives ? Let me admit, that though age discrimination is forbidden it takes part nevvertheless. It all ends up in hypocracy and psychogenic silence. The Omerta of age discrimination
