There's no such thing as too old, and no such thing as too late, unless you stop trying.
There are 3 billion people on the planet, and plenty of potential mates that are in the same exact situation as you.
Getting a job is a good start and will help with both your self-confidence and your lady problems.
Just like birds who choose a mate based on color, song, and nest building - humans also will look for a mate who is organized, responsible, well dressed, with good hygiene. So if you're not sure how to meet and talk to women, start with the basics:
(Money) Get a job,
(Nest) Get a place to stay, and keep your stuff organized and clean,
(Song/social) join a music or art class or if you're not musical, try to spend time with people, either volunteering, or learning something, or join a local faith or traditional group. (Church group, excersize group, or crafting meetups), this adds some "spice" to your life even if you don't end up finding a mate.
Start by trying to make friends first, don't try for romance too soon.
Make a SHORT list & Give yourself options, (ideally no more than 3):
I have to do these 3 things today, which one do I least-not want to do right now?
1) write a Christmas newsletter
2) work on programming project
3) take out the garbage
If there are more than 3 tasks, Use the Eisenhower matrix (important vs urgent?) To plot them and filter out all except the ones which are BOTH most important and most urgent.
I find that I get a lot of dishes and not-important/easy-but-urgent cleaning done when I have a big nasty task pending.
But at least then I'm still doing something productive with my time. Plus once you've finished & checked off some small stuff often I feel better about the tasks in general.
I think for me it takes a lot of energy to start a hard/important task, especially if I'm doubting if I can do it - or if I have never done it before or have to look it up to figure it out... If I'm also feeling anxious about the huge pile of other things I've got to do (even if they're small chores) then this can get to a crippling state where I don't want to do anything.
So again, sometimes just starting with some easy tasks to just get yourself moving, and saying "I am doing a good job, and I am getting stuff done" can then help me reduce the list. Make a written, physical list, and physically check it off.
I know it seems trite for computer people to Not use tech to solve a problem, but you need to see it and get that dopamine hit when you check it off.
"All cryptocurrencies are not the same. Today, they
share a common quantum vulnerability through use of non-quantum
safe Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) digital
signatures yet they have very different risks of quantum attack"
"The underpinning digital signature scheme (Elliptic curve)
is vulnerable to a quantum computer attack."
"Migration to an alternative quantum safe digital signature
scheme will require a ‘hard fork’, a non-compatible new
blockchain created."
