This really resonated with me. All growing up I got variations of this message. "You can't be a computer programmer if you aren't good at math." "Nobody will hire you as a programmer if you can't touch-type." Basically, career advice based on stereotypes, from parents who are proud of the fact they "don't do computers".

Thankfully, I was smart enough not to listen. I just worry that there might be kids out there who do listen and think they're not good enough.
