I wonder if there are many old people like me who have become infected with programming?

Published in the Random EN group
In short. It’s better to start like this: I’m 37, I already understand the baggage of a family behind me, a job without the opportunity to deal with personal affairs, a mortgage, and back-biters don’t allow me to relax. A wife who requires attention, and other pre-senile concerns. From personal time, only the period from 01 to 03 at night, space is only the bathroom and that’s not for long... On the plus side, you don’t always want to sleep and are no longer interested in games))) With the advent of the Android phone, the need arose for some programs to and this and that, the thought arose, what if I do it myself - what I want and how I want. I started digging, reading, looking through various sources. Until this moment, I had never done programming, I speak zero English, I don’t count the minimum of Pascal at the university, I have two degrees in radio physics and the second with an economic focus. At work, not a director, but an engineer. The point is, I came across javarush. And to be honest, I was hooked. It’s not that I’ve already completed a bunch of lessons and completed all the assignments, but that I like to complete assignments, catch up on what was missed and learn new things. To be honest, I felt like I was in the wrong place and at the wrong time. The course prompted me to study English, and somehow the realization suddenly dawned on me that programming was what I had been looking for all along. If I judge soberly, I understand that no junior of me, much less a cool programmer, will turn out to be a cool programmer, and there are often moments when I think “why do I need all this?”... Which of my colleagues should I tell that I’m trying to learn programming, not even a language? I turn around, they still won’t understand, they’ll twist it at my temple and wait for me to bend over. The very construction of learning on javarush is very, very pleasing, oh well done guys, keep it up, I will definitely renew my subscription, the guys give others a start in life - they deserve it))) So, I’m wondering, are there many people like me? What are your plans, is there an opportunity to board the departing carriage, or will things go beyond the hobby? Well, if it’s not a secret, where to go next))))??? You can often find writings on the internet about programming at an older age, but here I wanted to leave something like a positive review, and another hint for the good fellows ;)
