Ask HN: Starting a career as a programmer in my mid-40s

I am 49 years old. I started studying programming 4 years ago. Now I understand what I did in the wrong direction during training. I didn't understand what I wanted to get?

- WEB development - Data analysis - Automation - ... etc

Accordingly, if I were making a decision now, I would start with a full course on computer science. To refresh my horizons, because I'm not young anymore. And after that, I would move on to choosing a technology stack. And only after that would I make a choice of programming language. The good news is, at my age, there is enough system experience in my head for good ideas in the implementation of projects. And it inspires me a lot.

Well, I'm pretty sure you would need at least one programming language to complete the computer science course though
