I'd say yes.

The programming/software development industry is HUGE, and there's room enough for most anyone.

But beware though, in a lot of SV-oriented forums/boards, there will (naturally) be a gigantic bias towards Big N or startup careers. In those cases, it might be more difficult to get a foot inside, as you get older. There's just a ton of applicants, and some recruiters at some firms might assume that with higher age, you won't be able to commit to work as much as fresh grads, due to family and such.

There's quite a difference between joining Google or the hottest unicorn, compared to becoming a coder for some insurance company out in nowhere.
