FWIW: I did post a link to HN on a homeschooling list where a parent (most likely a mom, since such lists tend to be dominated by women) was asking for resources related to programming. I also posted a link to a particular discussion here on another list (a really tiny list). I have long told my two sons that they aren't likely to be employable (especially my older son) so they need to plan on making their own company. I will likely do more to promote the "start your own business" concept to homeschoolers. I think there are some significant parallels between the two mindsets/lifestyles and I think homeschooling is good preparation for starting a business, much better preparation for that than for becoming a drone at a large company.
