As a 30+ year old software engineer, I can confidently tell that the older you get, the later you are to learn piano.
Musical instruments are best learnt as a kid. I have seen kids effortlessly picking up chords, even whole new songs, within weeks. They can even break down a whole song into individual notes in a matter of an hour. Such a feat for me would take many hours and sometimes days. I do believe that I would have been much more effective at learning piano if I was introduced to it in my early childhood.
