Anecdotal data point: 3rd generation computer programmer here, and I hope that one of my sons also takes up the mantle, although I haven't seen any evidence that it's likely yet. I took it up because I had computers to play with at home, and my dad had Logo (turtle graphics) on one of them.

I'm also the 3rd in my family. My dad got me a Lego RIS 2.0 and down the rabbit hole I went. It started with my Grandpa[1] in the 50s.

How old is your grandparent, and how did they start out? Are they still working as a programmer?
