I'm 35 and just recently graduated with a Bachelor in Software Development, and I don't see my age as a bad thing. I will most likely still be coding when I'm well beyond 40, and for now I'm not aiming for a management position. I want to code, solve problems, gain a deep understanding of the tech-stack I focus on and gain experience, so that when I decide I want to take the step to management, I'll be ready.

Age is not relevant, experience and willingness is. If you're 40 and still a developer, and love it, there's no need to worry.
