All the downvoters stuck without a job blaming the world.

You got down voted because that person had a good response and then you personally attacked them.

Making the switch that late in life can be challenging doing it alone. I highly, HIGHLY recommend a 3 month course to learn programming.
I have hired people right out of these courses, ex-nurses, ex-barman, they have great foundations, the course normally helps them get placemen

Anyone reading this, do independent research carefully before listening to this. If you use AI ask about 2026 updates.
One of the top three bootcamps doesn't even appear to have any active students left but their website still says a 70% placement rate (from 2023?).
So do your research.

It's literally shit career advice. They asked for career advice, not a new hobby.
Failures everywhere man. I was told my entire life bullshit like this. It's just false. It's projection.
It's failures holding you back, or protecting their own position.

You energy can be valid but the direction it's pointed in might not work out well for your career.
A small number of people can career change right now and you should help them, but you should be legally responsible for the trail of destruction left by making it feel like anyone who just tries hard enough can make the switch.
I'm friends with the executives of the top AI labs. Their engineers don't write code anymore. By the end of 2026, most top tier engineers won't write code anymore. I'm the number 1 output engineer from Meta through manual code wiring and I don't write code anymore.
I don't have a chip on my shoulder. I have authentic experience and relationships with the people that are building the future.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about then take a break from Reddit and try to understand first.
At least research who you are talking to.
I'm stating unequivocally that most engineers will not be writing code by hand by the end of 2026 anymore.
If you don't believe that will be to your own loss.

/remindme on December 31 2026 to revisit this thread and add the unannounced incoming bootcamp shutdowns that will be public by then to the list.

You're so far gone it's unreal. You've created the narrative around me saying coders wont use AI as a majority. When I didn't say that once. You literally shifted the narrative to your fantasy. I'm out.

You are adamantly saying that anyone can switch careers right now into SWE by learning to program, in the learn to program subreddit, when no engineer will actually program by the end of this year and many remaining coding bootcamps will shutdown.
If I'm wrong I will happily eat my words on that remind me date as long as you would do the same.
