I'm a professional PHP, Python and Javascript developer from the UK. I've worked with Django, Laravel, and React, among others. I also maintain a legacy Zend 1 application.
As someone who changed careers and started coding professionally in my early thirties, I've always been of the opinion that anyone of any age who can think logically can learn to code.
That said, I can see how it would be harder for people with responsibilities such as a family to put in the time to learn to code from scratch. I learned while working an unrelated full time job, and I didn't always feel like writing code after work. If I'd had other commitments it would have made it harder to find the time.
exactly the problem I am facing now :( also a recent burn out on the day job had to pause coding for a bit. Not fun but I am trying soon to gradually work back into it.
