They should teach them Terminal on OSX. I would expect most CS folks would need it per building code or Git. Maybe I am too disconnected, and life is now IDE.

I showed my son at a young age terminal commands to browse the filesystem. It really seems to be helping him now that he coding.

How old was your son when you started teaching him the command line, coding etc?

Started using command line at around 11 on his Mac. Really started to understand coding at 13, writing in Java and Python.
