I suppose you should explore some near-biology fields because there are some insights that there is going to be a new set of industries such as programming some bio-mechanic inspired machines, making molecular-size things, messing with genome etc. You can keep progressing in code but everything you are going to achieve with coding might be achieved by someone half your age, what about Biology this is a very different story because there are no much experts on this field anywhere on the internets. Use what you have got as much as possible.

I think bio-tech, i.e. combining skills in biology + software engineering is more likely yield a suitable niche than software development alone.

With low-code, no-code, CoPilot, AI, ML, etc plus 30 million programmers worldwide (many wanting to work remote) well-paid entry level programmer roles are thin on the ground.
