I left my former industry at 40 (now just over 3 years ago), bootcamp'd and got into dev and it was the best thing I ever did. I've been gainfully employed since the move and love my current job. I can't say it wasn't a lot of work, and yes I feel the competition of the young folks, but it is what it is.

Congratulations, and welcome!

that's excellent. i think 'age discomfort' by younger hiring managers can be alleviated if they are reasonable; just be about the task at hand. The unreasonables aren't desirable to work for anyway.
