confessions

Had lunch with a teen & his dad b/c kid wanted some advice on choosing between Computer Science and Software Engineering. Eventually he told me he wanted to be a game dev. Every teen I talk with before they head off to Uni says the same. None of them make it. He’s ngmi, either.

Also I ask every kid who wants to do CS, whether game dev or other: what have you made? The answer is *always*: nothing. I cannot relate. They’ve had computers in the house since they were born & never once thought of, say, making an add-on for their fav game? Anything, really? I’m old but these kids are strange.

Trish ran a great program in our city for inner city kids; first day of the camp they had to take apart a PC with hand tools [screwdriver, wrenches…] then put it back together. Then she taught them how to build apps.
