In this article, I stated exactly the opposite - that you CAN become a great developer despite your age and the story of the guy in the Hustler section presents exactly that point.
Hello everyone,
I am from Brazil but I´ve been in USA since 1994
I work full time as an Uber/Lyft driver to get things even and studying to become a full stack web developer.
"Do you have a friend, who wants to become a programmer and is 25 or 30 years of age?
If that guy has will and believes in himself, he probably knows that he can become a good programmer even given his late starting age. But does he believe he can become great?"
Then you say a 27 year old guy....blah, blah....
27 year old (are you kidding me), at this age I was 300ft underground mininig gold for Anglo American Corp. and on my spare time studying math and having fun with it...
Only now at 47 I felt the desire to become a FullStackWD and I feel awesome. I know at least a handful of great web developers who started by their mid 40's.
Age definitely is not a problem.
Sillicon Valley mentality is.
Thank God is changing.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
It seems there is some kind of misunderstanding.
