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.

How can you assume that the kid that got shown `git`, is not part of that minority? I'd guess it very likely is.
