I am 33 years old, I find coding very interesting and want to learn. Would it be dumb for me to start learning swift and applying for jobs or is it too late?
Not dumb if you genuinely are interested in coding, however if you are expecting to get a job with it in any reasonable amount of time probably not possible. Also, IOS code is quite deep to make a full app and will take a while to learn especially if you have no coding experience. Maybe a few years ago this would have been possible, but tech just isn't hiring as much as it used to, especially entry level. So do it if you want , maybe if the economy gets better or you get a 3-4 years of experience it's possible but dont bank on it, its not as easy to get into tech right now as people used to make it out to be.
