Just to add to the discussion. There is no such thing as being too old for being a developper.
However there is a thing about being motivated. If you enjoy programming it's a first step. If you like learning it's a second one.
Indeed, software industry is always evolving and unlike some jobs, you'll need to contantly learn new technologies, update your skills and when you'll be experienced enough, you'll need to evolve your game by mentoring less experienced developpers. So you'll also need to like sharing your knowledge.
I see some developpers coming to this industry only for the paycheck without motivation for programming or software engineering. They have a hard time keeping up with the pace of technology evolution.
So, if you enjoy programming, go for it. Come join us. You'll see that a vast majority of software community is welcoming.
