I see coding the same way as playing games. Both work in front of a computer. Kids and adults are doing that anyway.

Improve your talent silently, donโ€™t try to impress people directly by talking about coding in person. Only talk about it IF THEY ASK. Write blog posts about your learning journey online. People would accept it. Believe me!

Well, adults are adults. They're supposed to know everything. Sort of. They at least are expected to know more than me, which they 100% succeed in. I usually only talk about coding if they are interested like you said. However, I've been trying to start coding classes for my peers, some of which are older than me, and they certainly don't know more than me in certain areas. So I'm already following your formula ๐Ÿ˜€.
As for blog posts, nah. I'm not doing that. Well, on dev.to, I already am. Not really, but close enough.
One last thing.
Coding is not the same as playing computer games!
