It is not obvious to me when i "began coding".
I edited a QBASIC program (`gorillas.bas`) in ~1994. I was 9, and an IBM systems programmer was a foot away from me. I wrote a LOGO program to draw my initials on the screen when i was 11. I stumbled through a J2SE 1.4 course in at 16 largely by trial and error, and a c++98 class at 18.
The first time I wrote a program and understood anything about what was happening in moderate detail, i was 19 or 20. (matlab, and shortly thereafter, latex)
The first time I thought "huh, i can actually code", i was 25. (c#)
I'm 33 now, and I am finally a semi-proficient coder. (python, c#, matlab, latex, ... )
