HE GOT THE JOB!!! AT 56!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Woke up and checked the socials to see this absolutely incredible message this morning 🥹 This is why I do this! I NEVER get tired of seeing these messages. Edward did and now I need YOU to also give me a reason to celebrate your success too! #coding #code #programming #softwareengineering

  • A LinkedIn message from Edward to Danny, timestamped Wednesday at 7:50 PM. The message reads: "Got the job!! Hey Danny - I've been a fan of yours for a few years now, ever since I got serious about learning to code. Now I can finally say 'I GOT THE JOB!' (At age 56!!!) Thank you for all your stories, your wisdom, and encouragement you give your followers on a daily basis. You've been a great source of inspiration. Thank you!!! I look forward to hearing more about all the great things you're doing and how you are helping others on their coding journey. Keep on keeping on!!"

Ugh it's really unfortunate that getting a job at 56 with decades of experience under your belt is something we're all marveling at.

Ageism in Tecnology or any field is very real. I often wonder if I will face this type of discrimination as I continue on my journey into tech at 43. Most of my peers are in their twenties. This story has given me hope and more inspiration to keep doing what I love.

Wow at age 56. Congrats! Keep doing whatever it is you’re doing. I’m here at the age of 48 asking myself if I should even continue self teaching myself to code.

There's hope in Tech than anywhere else. For those who have stayed in tech in their early career journey you still have privilege to apply for Snr Tech Manager, Snr. Tech Assessment Manager etc even at 60s. This is my confidence everyday. We'll work out until 65+ if not more

Wow that’s awesome. Inspiring. I’m 48 and often believe I may not have a chance but this gives me confidence to keep going. Thanks for sharing

Congratulations! You can be anything you want any time you want it. You can code and "decode", and age isn't going to stop you. Fact is, the day you wake and make up your mind on anything, is your morning. Bravo, Danny Thompson !
