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.

The Zoomers had a vastly different experience with computing then X and the Millenials, a lot of these kids have been using tablets and Chromebooks, with almost everything hidden behind the GUI. I'm a Xennial, and I've built most of my Linux machines.. 🤷♂️

I was busy writing games, hacking games, pirating them 😆 At 15 I'd written image compression utilities in assembly. My teenage kids hate anything to do with code, no matter how much I explain that software runs the world 😭

Agree, that’s strange. I quickly focused on how to make the computer do things, when I grew up. I was so into coding as a kid that I brought manuals with me on family vacation and wrote code on paper since I didn’t have a computer at hand, eager to get home to try it out.

That's strange to me as well. I have a few experiences that made me think that some people are wired to believe the learning experience is completely the responsibility of the teacher/school/institute. And not on themself. And that you can just choose a topic and it will work. But I just find it hard to understand ...

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.
