I am 48 and I am finally learning machine learning with neural networks.
I have made some money on crypto and I left my programming job 5 years ago. I have had some reservations, like can I still learn new stuff, would I be efficient enough with it to make anything valuable, how can I compete with the young guys. And I still don't have answers, the project seems to crawl so very slowly. But I enjoy the work.
- bananabat 5y agoI've gone through the same thought (and emotional) process. I guess if you're enjoying it and it brings you happiness, that is the best reason to do it. We have some advantages that only accrue with age. It seems you have a nest egg that lets you do what you want to do, that's a major thing. Also, you have a professional, social and experiential foundation that serves you in good stead. I'm happy for your enjoyment. Best of luck!
