Can You Become a Programmer After 30 Years Old?

How worried are you about your age holding you back? Did this video help clarify anything for you?

Thank you so much. I am 30 years old, and you have helped me a lot to realize that I can do

Becoming a developer from scratch adult

❤❤

I am 31 i have started learning python html and css. I always wanted to sit back and code.

i made it at 30

Should I start at 48?

I'm 89 and I started at 88 and i'm happily employed!!

Want your brain to stay in good condition? Stop drinking alcohol.

I just turned 30 this year, and started learning python a month back looking to change careers. Hearing this motivates me to keep going!

What about massive layouts recently ? Oversaturation with junior devs ?

Pretty cool video man, thank you

ANDY ... what about PERL ?? should we beginners concerned ?? Regular Expressions compact code writing etc.

I'm 25 years old and I'm already thinking about that... Well, it seems that this is the only option I have right now, and the fact that to start at my age is not even considered too late is uplifting, so I guess I should really try it

What If you are not fluent/advanced in english? Can i get a full remote job even with intermediate english ?🥹

This video is old but I just turned 31 wanna change my career this is what I needed

I'm 55, almost 56. Looking forward to learning as much as I can to really give this a go. I've learned some HTML and CSS but I need to practice more and create some projects. And then on to Javascript.

I was born in the 80s have been landing a series of well-paid cryptography roles. I spent the 2010s learning low level languages and cryptography/machine learning mathematics and how to compute them. The answer - DEFINITELY, they want people who can do the job above all else. If you specialize in a rare, HARD skill especially (like ML, cryptography, scientific computing, etc.) you're likely to quickly be into getting half a million.

Lol, what a trivial question. You could have been a stay at home dad for 20 years, at 55 years old, and if you started coding you'd STILL find jobs very easily, and after a couple years you'd get paid very well in most cases: there's lots of demand for this (I'm not kidding by the way).
I learned at 33, began at 34, and that was the best decision of my life. I have a master's degree from a business school in France, and had a series of very unfulfilling jobs before that, and boy am I glad I did it.
Truth is, you could easily become one at 40-45 years old, retire at 70+, and have a very successful career: there's tons of examples like those.
So, can you become a programmer after 30? Very, VERY much so, without any problems whatsoever, and if you invest yourself thoroughly, you'll have a very stable professional situation in a matter of years: that's how in demand the job is.

33 years old and start learn p5js this month!

Hi Andy, I’m a project manager. (29 yr old ) (IT and development projects) Have been doing this since the start of my career 7 years ago. I have some experience with devops and cloud. Can I switch to software development ?

This video gave a little more confidence to get into this field. 37 and looking to get in this field

Thanks Andy. I am looking for a carreer change and since i always was interested in coding, i thought to give it a shot. I am almost 34 with 0 experience in programming. Hopefully your videos will help me more. I dont know where to start but i ll figure it out.

thanksss

Thanks

When i first started watching this i wanted to smack you because i thought you said that you couldnt when your over 30 i am so glad that i watched the whole video this helped me out a lot thanks and keep making great content pal.

I am 63years and I want to become a front end web developer. What is your honest opinion and advice for me?

I’m 29 and afraid of the big 30 and want to switch careers this gives me hope ⭐️

Age only holds you back if you let it. You can work hard and stay after it. Thats really what you need to become good at anything .:)

This gives me more courage. Thank you!!

At 34 I have now started learning programming to switch careers. I wish I had realized this before I also had a small child, but things just didn't click in my head like that then even though I checked some programming courses and did a bit of Android programming. Now I feel an urge and a desire to learn Python.

I waited till 40 now 42 and I was top 5 student in class and found it generally pretty easy to learn.
No I am not smart I am average, difference is folks my age an older are much wiser, and intelligent than folks in their 20's. Data shows college grads now are dumber than 8th graders in 1950's who were just average students back then.

So what do companies find out, well they find older folks have different social constructs than youth, older gen has strong work ethic and drive.

So in the end you have more opportunities if you know how to market yourself and you don't work like the youngsters matching them but work like your generation learned to. Doing that you'll find raises faster and more often along with promotions than anyone around you.
I have record for promotions and wage increases at 3 companies, not for being smart or socially kewl, I am not. I just work hard and do my best for real

I'm in my late 30s and working full-time as a call-centre agent which people often refer to as low-level unskilled job, earning low salary. I earn $1,500 a fortnight which is minimum wage. I really want to get out of this rut. I cant decide between IT or Accounting. But then on a second thought, I'm scared to invest more money on education. My highest qualification was a High School certificate, but I had attempted uni courses in the past, and dropped out of it, incurring a student loan of $25,000+ that I need to pay off. When I was young, I had high level of social anxiety. But I think I'm grown out from it, by working. Im not sure whether I should be like the older generation where they work any low-skilled jobs and saved extra hard, or invest in education to better my future. But by the time I finish a bachelor degree , I'd be in my 40s! What should I do?

I’m 31 and switching my career right now. Learning code more efficiently then my college days.

stvpid ageism

is it too late for us humans to learn to code after we are born?

What is the best way to start?

I’m 200 years old, I started learning programming languages when I was 175, I’m gainfully employed as a dev ops guy

How interesting. Finally decided to buckle down at 36. Wish me luck. Hope to repost here again when I get my first developer job. Thanks all for the motivation

I'm 56 and have played with writing toy scripts on and off for years. Learning a stronger coding skill set and looking for entry level coding work is my plan after I retire from my current career.

Am from India, a successful software engineer since 8 Yr and I started my developer career from age 36 in 2014 after 12 Yr as an assistant professor

I start learning programming at 35 and got a backend developer job at 37, now I am learning machine learning and I want to become a machine learning engineer before 39!

Im a graduate of IT, not computer science but i haven't really had a job related fully to my degree.. I have a background in coding back in college but im asking, how and where do I start

I am 69 and I am returning to software development. Your lecture is wonderful. I have been learning a variety of things and work as a private tutor. The brain does continue to work wonderfully, so far. Thanks again for motivation and clarity.

Thank you...you have given me courage to start at 40.

I want to enter in Salesforce marketing cloud, I am in HR can anyone help, $1300
