I believe that this is the greatest time to become a programmer. Whereas I remember paying 149$ for an undocumented Microsoft Visual C++ 1.0 twenty years ago, almost all languages and tools have now become extremely accessible, free and well documented. The amount of information that one can find online is bewildering. We now speak in exabytes. There are more tutorials out there than you could read or watch in your lifetime. As a coder, I also doubt that you will find many algorithms in your code that have not already been analyzed and cleanly displayed online. To illustrate this, StackOverflow currently has about 8,3 million questions.
