Wow, you’re still interested in learning at close to 50. That’s commendable. I did my masters at CMU robotics, and I would recommend doing it. Most students will be under 30, but CMU is a very practical school with an actual focus on building and programming robots, so if you’re proactive you can wet your feet plenty during your masters programme. Don’t expect to learn much from courses though, most of the learning happens in your off time in robotics projects or when doing robotics research with professors, and in that CMU is really good |

I think a lot of the "I don't see >40y/o swe" is a combo of:
There were more CS/IT grads from 2000 to today (<40 years old) than were ever produced prior to year 2000.
After 40 you tend to move into management, consulting, or just switch careers, b/c SWE pays well.
After 40 you don't work at companies that churn through young devs (so young devs are less likely to work with > 40 y/o)
