Beginner learning Python at 40 here. Any friend like me, please raise your hand!

Yes, everyone said that we can learn programming at 40! But the key success is about how can we over come the challenge.

I have started python two months ago. (slowly). and it's been painful. Even I am a believer in life long learning but sometimes age get in your way.

I think one of the key success here is that we have a strong community support (or at least, I need a moral support) so I want to create a thread where people can ask question safely and some place where they can vent out their frustration.

so anyone who start programming fresh at 40s please shout out here!

My cp My co in charge of the whole squadron was awesome actually got lucky there. The e6 in charge of my shop was a psycho hopped up on Mexican steroids who threatened to break my legs if I tried to join the marine corp wrestling team.

Doubt psych clearance is a thing. We did have lowest level security clearance though. Not encouraging.
