I started learning how to code using PHP at 29, and 4 years later I am still an amateur. I can say with confidence that the day I started programming was the last day I got bored, and this no figure of speech. I am not sure whether a late start is an advantage or not, for I would I have preferred the opposite, however I am glad I started then. Now I can spend my weekends working on things for myself instead of posting requirements on Odesk and such. I am in marketing, and the ability to automate tasks has proved useful countless times. My opinion now is that of a good friend "Coding is today's arithmetic. Everybody should learn it, without an exception." Nothing should be so special about it.
