> enroll him in a computer science course Why are you doing that to him?

  Haha! He has been programming since the age of 8. Started off hacking away at Minecraft Mods then moved into a little JavaScript and more recently Python for the Raspberry Pi. I have tried encouraging other areas too of course but this stuff really excites him. It is in his blood and he is really, really good at it.

  "Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be coders" I thought this to myself and then googled it to see if lazyweb had written it for me: http://music.chuvala.com/songs/mamas/mamas_lyrics.html http://music.chuvala.com/songs/mamas/mamas_lyrics.html

    Ha! This is pretty funny. Aren't coders these days though kind of seen as rock stars? ;) As a Mama here and as someone who has worked in this industry for over 15 years, I would not be bummed if he chose another path. I however won't hold him back from what is pulling him either. I will try my best to be as supportive as I can in whatever path he ends up choosing. Also speaking as a mom - I am totally okay if he ends up being the nerdy kid ;)
