I’m not sure how to phrase this without it sounding bad, and I don’t want to personally offend you, but somewhere in what you wrote is the epitome of everything

I’m not sure how to phrase this without it sounding bad, and I don’t want to personally offend you, but somewhere in what you wrote is the epitome of everything I hate about tech culture (not saying there’s not a lot about tech culture that I love). It reminds me of a quora response where Andrew Ng says you should teach your kid to program as a toddler. Not everything has to be hyper-optimized. Let your child live their life.

This is teaching your kids to read. Not code. BIG difference. One is optional, one is required and something that no parents should be solely trusting schools to do. My dad barely finished high school, but he did teach me to read by the age of 2. It profoundly changed my life.
