This is solid advice. Learn the fundamentals, and maintain conversational knowledge of more cutting edge tech. As you get stronger in the fundamentals you’ll be able to speak intelligently about why you might choose to use some new fangled thing.
Not even close. Started a CS degree 7 years ago at 28 and am a director of engineering now, if it’s what you wan to do go for it. I will give a warning that the market isn’t amazing right now, and people getting into it just because they see the salaries is flooding the entry level positions. If you’re motivated and excited about building software you’ll be fine, but something to be aware of.
