I think it also comes with age. I'm nearly 40 and frankly I don't care what others think about my programming prowess, for better or worse. Agree on your advice to your kids. Was telling mine something similar over dinner tonight, though my eldest is only 7. I think the biggest liberation is not keeping up with others. But it's also generational as well. This guy is likely under 40, has a big mortgage etc. The game has (sadly) changed now in that failure is not an option due to crippling debt. At 56 you won't have had to face the same challenges the next generation face. It truly does suck. I think this is crippling productivity as people just cannot take risks as easily any more unless they are fresh out of school. Sigh! Anyhow have a good weekend and I agree we should not let the above stop us no matter how tough it gets!
