Do you regularly read the writings of farmers and roughnecks? I didn't get into tech until I was 40 but I definitely was going through some of the same personal growth as the writer when I was about 30 and if I had a blog I probably would have written about it.
I taught guitar for three years to groups of undergrads. I noticed that most lefties had no problem playing a right-handed guitar. However, occasionally I would have a student that just struggled mightily and things clicked when they switched to a left-handed guitar.
