Is it even really a privilege to be into programming in your childhood/teen years? Most kids are not Feynmans. They aren't naturally curious geniuses who are only stopped by a judgmental society and "biases". There is a whole other, more dominant incentive structure in place. The way many kids/teens become interested in programming is through video games and trolling online forums/message boards. Now, why do some kids play videos games and troll the internet more? Because the opportunity cost is low for them. Meaning that if they did not play video games/troll the internet, the other potential activities are not as fun for them. A vital activity that other kids do is socializing and hanging out with family, friends, etc. in real life. Is it really a privilege to be exiled from real life to the internet? Would those kids spend time on the internet playing video games and reading about programming if they weren't as "privileged" as they are and had opportunities to socialize in real life?
