      I genuinely do not understand why so few people decide to become software engineers. The barriers to entry are pretty low, the pay and perks are good, the job high status and fun, and one can learn enough to get a job, by themselves, in ~3-6 months.

      Also, one always learns on that job, it never gets boring, and offers plenty of lateral growth opportunity eg into management or product. And tech is a sexy industry!

      I used to work closely with a guy who was living in hostels, playing guitar in the streets of LA to get money, and taught himself software engineering in Dunkin Donuts at night. Got a job after a year, today makes $200+ an hour.

      Do you think it is ever too late? I'm 23, for reference.

      If there’s an age after which it’s too late, 23’s very far from it. I know several people who started at 28+

      That's good to know. I really like what the Lambda School is doing. Would like to run an experiment and just learn for 6 months to see what progression looks like. Always thought an economics background would pair perfectly with tech knowledge

      I’ve seen plenty of people in their mid 40s make the switch. You’re not even vaguely close to too late
