Poker takes practice, has variability and isn't free. In fact it's the only game I know of that's pointlessly boring without money on the table.

LLM workflow is competing with other ways of writing code. DIY, stack overflow, paired, offshored...

I bought a bunch of poker chips and taught Texas Hold'em to my kids. We have a fantastic time playing with no money on the line, just winning or losing the game based on who wins all the chips.

Give them enough time and they'll realize they can trade poker chips for other things.
