Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and experience. This is helpful. I'm no longer very young -- mid-thirties -- and so I feel some pressure, mostly internal, to dive into something sooner rather than later.

Your point about a high barrier to entry tickles my brain. I'd love to combine my communication skills, particularly my writing and documentation skills, which I've worked hard on, with my software skills. Ideally in service of a non-profit. I think there's a good opportunity there.

Again, I appreciate you chiming in. I value the input.
