Everyone thinks like that, in every field. I suggest you just accept that you did not grow up in an environment surrounded by hackers/programmers that pushed you to write code. Instead you had fun with your friends, which is fine. You are 23 now, that is a perfect age to start building your skill-set and set a path towards the person you want to become. When you are 30, you are going to be like, damn, it was a good idea to start hacking at 23, now I know all these things and have a deeper grasp on technology.

And don't forget that you are born, then you live and finally you die. Whatever you do or do not do, the universe will forget about you. Might sound cynical, but that is the reality. So do whatever you want to do, the important thing is that once you decide to do something, you do it. You can (almost) become anything you want, so imagine your future self and set a course towards that future.

The best way to predict the future, is to create it.
