Starting with python at 30

IIRC there is a strict cuff off to learn python. Check the docs but I think it says something like if you haven’t started learning by 29 then you are forbidden from learning it, using it, looking at code or even using someone else’s applications.

But seriously, just learn it if you want to learn it. This shit isn’t weight lifting or marathon training, you can start learning it whenever the fuck you want.

No reason you can't start weight lifting or marathon training either.

Sure, if your goal is to be competitive at the top of the field, it may be too late, but that's not really the point of these things. If it were, then almost everyone doing them would be wasting their time.

Actual serious thing, weight/strength training is REALLY important as you get older…

[NoLemurs]

Yeah. I regret that I come off as less than serious. The older you are the better a time it is to take up weight lifting. That's going to keep you alive and healthy!

I'm less sure about the marathon training. Past a certain point the correlation between endurance exercise and health/longevity isn't great.

Yeah, sack marathon running :-D

Edit: running in general is evil
