> As he grows older, he has noticed it becomes increasingly difficult to find work
Programming/software dev is not a field I would choose if I were trying to avoid age discrimination. It can be hard enough for 61 year olds who have been in the field for 35 years and have all that experience to find work.
I'd encourage him to do it as a hobby, but don't get his hopes up about being able to find steady work doing it.
