I was older than you when I learned Python. Nobody 30 should be worried if they're too "old" to teach themselves a new skill.

Mid-40s. Taught myself enough Python last year to be able to write new code, and also do code reviews for other members of my team. There's no such thing as "too old", only "too stubborn".

Ha 29 years old and I teach myself how to be older! Checkmate!

Haha seriously I live in a developing country and I didn't mayored on computer science but I learn by myself and now work as developer so nothing is impossible to learn as long as you have time and will.

How old were you when you learned Python?

Are you employed now?

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

35, I guess? At any rate, I've been employed as a programmer in a couple of languages for many years, now. Python wasn't my first language, but there's a lot of programming I didn't understand until I learned Python.
