In the spirit of Dijkstra's quote on teaching BASIC, learning "Agile" is damaging beyond recognition. :)

Kanban boards, on the other hand, are "agile". /s

Congratulations to him on his first "real" program, I was 13 in 1977 when I started (with BASIC for my sins :) )

After 25 years of professional development experience my favorite task lists are still and will always be paper and pencil. ;-)

my daily list is still just paper. There's satisfaction in striking out finished items :)

For the sake of your child, please keep him away from any and all AGILE based workflows! Such devious contraptions were not meant for the pure of soul
