Depends of your early experience in life. Whatever you have been doing before determines if it is a good idea or not.

I always recommend that you have a competitive advantage in what you do.

So if you start anew competing against 20 years old with way more energy that you have, it will be a bad idea.

But if you have mastered something in the past, and programming gives you an edge because you reuse what you have learned, it will be a good idea.

Programming can be miserable, lonely,alienating(you work with machines not people), painful and slow to get results, specially when you are not an expert. Experts can do miracles as they could automate their own code. Also experts are used to working remotely, and master the psychology of getting things done after years(or decades) of mistakes individually and as teams.

I would study what can you give that very few people can because of your specific personality, interests and experience.
