I started when I was 24, that was 3 years ago. Since then I've shipped 3 million total downloads on the iOS app store as an indie developer. I've learned enough programming to make almost anything I can think of. I haven't actually ever looked for a job because I like my freedom so much, and I make enough to survive.

Figure out what you want to learn/build, and just start. When you hit seemingly insurmountable roadblocks, just take 20mins away from the computer and come back. Stick with it, have a long run view rather than a short run view.
