There is no question that there is a bias. It's also true that being older may come with some challenges, but it comes with several core benefits that a younger person can't match. You have experience, you've already made and learned from big mistakes. You may also have management and leadership experience that makes you more valuable to any business. Learning to code is no more difficult to learn than any other new skill. Your ability to learn doesn't fade with age, unless you never had it to begin with. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do, just do it.
