I’ve started coding at your age, while I was in Veterinary School. Now I’m 37 and I’m a pretty good developer, not (only) because of my technical capabilities, but because of my communication skills and empathy, that’s something that you can learn elsewhere. Last year I was a bit depressed because I haven’t achieved great goals (midlife crisis) and so I started learning something new (Jazz Piano) from start, and that is bringing me joy again. This makes me feel that the joy is in the process, I will never be Jhon Carmack or Bill Evans, but I’m always growing and that is beautiful.
