I'm posting because I appear to be in the minority here. I started at about 34 and I taught myself. Having an objective kept me coding. I am building something that has a specific business need where I have significant domain experience. Additionally, I was surprised to find out how much I enjoy programming and learning new languages. That too will keep you going.
