Is it too late...?

As an 22 year-old mechanical engineering student I've newly started programming by learning Python. I don't know why but sometimes it makes me feel like I'm too late even when I think about people who started programming at first school. I don't think leave my department but I would like to use Python in my life.

No, it isn't too late. Most of the undergraduates here start at 21 and do just fine.

not too late for anyone. Just stay hungry for more and stay persistent. You'll catch up.😊

might even be easier than harder. I don't know about you but I gained more discipline as I got older.

No it isn't too late, maybe it will be more difficult, but it isn't too late

Yüsein Ali I am 19 year old and I doing same mechanical engineering but as an hobby I like too much coding But because of that I dont change field its my hobby and learning never can make you worry so its good to learn anytime because these certificates are just formalities important is your skills and talent in their own fields and coding is in engineering blood because CNC VMC all that machines need codings you have to learn new things everytime because no one knows what will became helpful in future and one more important thing do that you love to do its important 💝
