> I am old enough to remember being bullied in school for being into computers. Yep, when I was young, even some of my teachers and other adults tried to dissuade me from computers and programming. I remember being mocked and ridiculed by other kids, and no one was incentivizing it when I was in school. If anything, people were avoiding it because it was uncool. I always thought it was the social stigma present in their own peer groups that were keeping them away from it, and not gatekeeping, at least from what I witnessed.
