My Biggest Regret as a Programmer

Spot on.

The problem is being able to influence things in a creative way.

I'd rather be the captain of my small pirate ship than a cog in giant battleship. But I'm in my mid 30s now, maybe that will change when I get to 40.

I am in my early 40s, and I thought 40s would be different as I will have less home pressures, and more time to myself. Also, I will be mature to take on challenges.

Doesn't work that way. Please start today.. don't hope for a things changing in 40s as it will come to your very very fast.

Another option: caption of your own pirate ship, inside a giant battleship.
