I was in my mid 20's when I quit my job to learn programming.
Do you mean if I tried to enter the industry in my 40's it would have been much harder? Or now that I'm in the industry, the smooth sailing will eventually get rougher as I approach my 40s? If the latter, I don't really believe it...

- acchow 10y agoIsn't it standard to just go to Google when you're older and cruise it out there? Also, I think plateauing is fine.... Why do I need to move upwards when they're paying me plenty already?
- lazyasciiart 10y ago"Standard"? What percentage of the industry do you think will ever work for Google?
