you're a tiny, tiny minority
the overwhelming majority of the children don't need C64 Basic at 7, Stroustrup at 14 and x86 assembly at 16
Everyone is part of some tiny, tiny minority. It's the best thing about us. It doesn't matter if it's coding, aikido, collecting sea shells, or keeping ferrets.
Denouncing one such tiny minority just because you don't see the value in it makes you sound very closed-minded and bigoted.
But thank you for gratuitously denigrating my childhood.
