The true image is that most 65-year-olds are not learning how to code.

The true image is that

(a) almost none 65-year-olds are learning how to code,

(b) implying that even a small but significant (say 5%) group are is lazy journalist / political propaganda BS

(c) even if it was true, 65-year olds forced to learn to code and desperate for work, is not a positive thing, it's a societal failure

If just one leant to code at 65 this is so great to hear about.

My uncle in his 60's returned to the university to get an advanced degree in vulcanology.

Several people do it, like several people do matchstick Eiffel Towers or have a crocodile as a pet.

It's still rare, and in no way anything statistically significant to write home about, nor the "way out" for the serious problem of old people forced to work.
