My dad is a farmer, and he spends most his remaining years in front of a TV. How i wished i could teach him coding.. his body is almost done for when it comes to movement- but coding, that could be possible. The problem is not the teaching- i could do that- its bringing someone back from a defeatist mindset. Whatever I do - the bank & robbers always win. How do you get that out of someones head?
