It's never to late to start. If you love it'll work out anyway.

I started "programming" at 10, didn't do anything useful until 16-17. I didn't program for real until I was 25, and it wasn't until I was past 30 that I felt like a proper programmer.

Amen. That's the story of my life too. Nibbled around and played around for a long time, but not really getting into it. But boy, when I did get into it, did I get into it! It's been a lot of fun since.

This is almost exactly my life story, only that I haven't reached my 30s yet.

Reading about all the 18- or 19-year-olds forming million-dollar startups really does make me feel like an underachiever sometimes.
