The thing with computer science is that it’s always changing, so everyone has to keep learning it regardless of age or prior experience, or they’ll risk getting left behind.

Fuck no, do what you love and what calls to you. If you haven’t found anything yet, you need to broaden your horizons.

It’s much more cut and dry than most people think. All these questions have to do more with you and what you’re willing to do than the logistics. You’ll almost always be able to work logistics out eventually so focus on the you part to make sure your “vehicle” is suitable for the terrain

Absolutely not.

no, but at 23 you’d wish you started at 22

as the saying goes the best time to start was when you were 6 the second best time is now

I’m in my late 40s and I just got a bachelor’s degree. I just started a masters program. It’s never too late.

Nope, I’m almost 30 and just graduated BS of Computer Science after 7 years of on and off schooling.

22? Old? What?

I’m still learning complex stuff and I’m double that.

You’re never too old to learn.

Not at all. This might be useful, https://teachyourselfcs.com. Have a think about what you want to do with it after learning. I was quite happy not learning CS and just coding instead!

Go for it my man (or your gender-aligned equivalent term)! At that age, you can still hang out with your classmates without it being weird, so you can still build connections like everyone else. Even if you were 40 though you could still do it, networking would be harder though.

It’s never too old to get into anything dude, just do what you like!

I don’t understand why you would think 22 is too old? Am I missing something?

Yo man this isn’t enders game

Absolutely not! I started at 25 next to my it job, best decision ever. Tough though, already had a kid and 2nd one was born during.
