I’m a Developer. I Won’t Teach My Kids to Code, and Neither Should You (2018)

If you don’t want to teach your kids to code, ok. I actually think the sugar cookie example is analogous to web development, especially styling/CSS.

As someone who has taught children how to do html/css/ basic JS it’s amazing to see how they progress; the creativity a child can have is unpredictable but usually inspiring.

Also, why is pocket acting like amp with the url? :/ :/ :/

The real URL, had to search to find it as there's no way to access it from the linked Pocket version

So the post should be linked here instead and have a [2018] suffix added to it, then.

Any mods care to fix?

Pocket shows up on the startup page for Firefox. They reprint old articles under their web site.
