Start Small
It’s Never Too Late to Start Learning
It’s never too late to dive into tech. 15 or 50, curiosity is what makes you a coder.
It’s never too late to start learning - unless you’re dead. (But even then, who knows. Tech moves fast.)
No, but seriously, I grew up around computers, but I never really did anything with them besides playing games. I didn’t take CS in school, I honestly thought I’d missed the boat on this whole tech thing, especially with how the last couple of years have played out.
The truth? You’re never too old to start learning. The internet is full of free resources, kind strangers on forums, and quiet moments after work when you can sit down and tinker. And while it feels overwhelming at first (it definitely did for me), the dots do start to connect eventually.
Start small. Build something silly. Break it. Then fix it. The confidence sneaks in quietly.
A lot of devs (most, even) still Google basic things. Not everyone will tell you that copy-pasting code is totally part of the process. So I’m telling you now: it’s okay to learn at your pace.
Coding isn’t just for “tech people.” It’s for curious people.
