For a career, if you're over 40 don't waste your time. Ageism in IT is rampant.

There is some truth to this, but I promise you as someone who has hired many people in this segment: if you can do the job, show up with a positive attitude and are willing to update your skills over time you will never have to worry about finding work.

Best thing you can do is try it and if it agrees with you and you enjoy it then go for it. The market is pretty fluid, 30 years in the industry and have been watching developers (of all programming languages) come and go in waves with regularity.

The forced WFH deal has really twisted the market up, more productivity with less overhead means teams (that are well managed) are able to produce more bugs, I mean code than ever.
