I am not that old, I started coding in the amd k5 days, I code between 8 to 16 hours a day for 25 years now, and I really love it, I think we have not even scratched the surface of what computing is.
We need so many programs, and so many systems, sometimes I get overwhelmed by the amount of code that has to be written, and the amount of hardware that has to be made, and yet the last 20 years most of tech's brain budget was spent on digital heroin and surveillance.
We still don't have cheap self cleaning public toilets (people literally shit themselves on the street in 2024), or AI mouse killer robots (costs 500-1000$ to catch a mouse with exterminator if you don't use inhumane traps), not to mention nanobots, biotech, cheap personal teachers or climate change/energy technology.
If you dont think you are too old like the OP, I say, buckle up, and start building for the future you want. You can start working on any field, or dig into any subject, you don't understand control theory or deep neural nets? Ask it, watch some lectures, ask it again and again.
We are on an inflection point.
