In my 40s, committed to learning to code. Ideally, want to live/work overseas. My goal is to succeed at and promote middle aged, beginner, self educated coding.
That is nearly EXACTLY what I'm thinking. While I'd love to be able to do this now full time, pre-retirement, I've not convinced myself or found enough evidence I could jump into a programming career that is enough to equal what I'm doing now to fully support my family.
However, in thinking about later in life. Once the kids are out of the house and I can possibly downsize, also what to do at or beyond retirement? I hope to be able to do side gigs and freelance work now to be able to set myself up later.
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
