You could also build software for fun, ie contribute to open source.
However remember that there are several other disabilities that can occur as you age. I know several people who developed Alzheimer's or MS around their 60’s. There is no way they could work a programming job today.
- dingnuts 2y agocontributing to open source isn't fun. it sucks. it might be good for your career but it is developing software in the most hostile environment for the most entitled users I have a side project. wanna see the code? you can't! screw you it's mine! also MS is a wildly different disease than Alzheimer's. many women especially develop MS in their twenties and it is not always progressive and it is certainly not life ending like Alzheimer's spreading this kind of misinformation about MS makes it difficult for sufferers to find work if their disability is visible because their level of disability can be assumed to be greater than it really is. MS is extremely variable from one person to the next.

They didn’t say it is the same disease. They said “I know several people who developed Alzheimer's or MS around their 60’s.” Which is while not the typical age MS appears it can still certainly happen. (It even has a specific name to describe it. Late-Onset Multiple Sclerosis)
- johnisgood 2y agoDeveloping MS at age 60 is nothing, they may or may never have relapses. I have had MS since age 21, with thankfully only one relapse, so far.
