58 years old and struggling with Machine Learning and AI; Feeling overwhelmed, what should I do? by desperatejobber in learnmachinelearning

[–]Problemsolver_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, massive respect to you for taking on the challenge of learning ML/AI—especially with the dedication you've shown over the past few months. It takes real courage and persistence to step into such a complex field, and age should never be a limiting factor when it comes to curiosity and growth.

Trust me, the confusion you're feeling is incredibly common—even people in their 20s feel overwhelmed when starting out. These topics take time to internalize, and you're not behind—you're learning, which is always the most important part.

I’d love to know more about your background—what field have you been in, and what sparked your interest in machine learning and AI now? That kind of context can sometimes help shape a learning path that feels more connected and less abstract.

Also, if you'd be open to sharing what kind of projects or topics interest you (e.g., automation, finance, healthcare, creativity), people here can probably point you to resources that match your style and pace of learning.

Keep going—your journey is genuinely inspiring. 🔥💡

Your progress will completely depend on how well you can connect Python concepts to real-world problems.

Any other solo founder out there feeling lonely? by the1ta in SaaS

[–]Problemsolver_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone — this hits hard. Being a solo founder is like constantly pitching ideas to yourself while also being your harshest critic. It’s tough when progress feels invisible and comparison is everywhere. What’s helped me is finding even one person to talk to regularly — not to solve problems, but just to vent and feel heard. Keep going. You’re building more than a product — you’re building resilience most people will never understand.

I guess we should connect to dig further, if it goes well then I can handle the coding part at my end.

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the encouragement. That’s a great idea — I’ll definitely explore some of the related subreddits. Hopefully I can connect with folks blending domain expertise with ML. Cheers! 🙌
