Ask HN: Is 36 too late to start into programming? 16 years ago
I have to agree with those who disagree. While there are those of us who are genetically predispositions to become techies, anyone with the drive and will can be a great programmer. It's hard work and usually takes much more effort but I have known some ubertechies who weren't born to it. Never underestimate the power of determination and desire.
