I'm about 30 and working on making this pivot. I'm worried I'll somehow box myself into some sort of dead-end boring programming. I don't know why but the thought keeps popping into my head. It seems like in order to be competitive enough for a programming job that isn't basically the same tier of drudgery as a dead-end corp position will require me to spend all of my free time programming. I love being immersed in silent solitary work building stuff, but I love being around people and being relatable to them just as much.

I wouldn't worry too much about this stuff. Even if you get stuck somewhere for an year, it's not the end of the world. Once you make the transition and gain some skills, you'd have more options and be free to explore them.
