To be good in it takes years. Playing around with it in the past doesn't mean you can develop software.
And with his age I have the feeling that the time and effort is wasted when he retires.
I'm even a open person and wouldn't care but a old manager of mine wouldn't even hire a 50 year old software engineer because he was worried if he fits in with us.
The age bias is real and I think it would frustrae your dad.
