🔒 Is learning to code at age 16 garbage?

[runic oyster]

I am Ovi Saha. I started learning to code at age 10. But I quit for some reason. I am now aged 17. I still regret I started too lately.

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

I'm not sure what answer you're looking for here. This looks like a leading question.

Do you seriously believe that starting a skill as a teenager is too late?

I started at 21. There’s no reason why starting at 17 is “garbage”

Well, I am 16 and I don't see any problem with starting it now tho. The first time I've ever interacted with coding was when my mom was going on a tech college way back ago with CODE.org I think. Later on I went to scratch.mit.edu and I've recently become bored with it because it's just too basic, and now I want to develop games with actual coding.

TL;DR: It ain't late to learn coding at such a young age. Life is long and it goes on and on and on...

I started when I was 28, now working at one of the big companies. Start now because you'll still be a year older this time next year whether you continued learning or not so do it!

started at 21. also doing good for myself. it’s not about when you start. it’s about starting and keeping persistence
