I completely disagree. I've been programming since 1977, when I was 7 years old. My kids, now in their teens, have been coding since they were able to bang on one of my 8-bit machines, having a blast all the way to comprehension and understanding.

Oh, wait, yeah. Sorry. I have every computer I've ever hacked on, going back to '77.

Yeah, now I get it. DEFINITELY don't try to teach your kids to program computers with, say, a modern web stack or whatever..
