That lady probably thinks programmers are the way they're depicted in Dilbert lol. Anyways, I agree. It's another form of expression. Just like Math or Music.

But I do also agree, in part with her point, that kids should explore possibilities and be kids instead of having to worry about their vocation so young and being put on a track to become something.

Yeah that's a really tough line to track. At some point they're going to develop a sense of purpose and I have no idea when or where or what or how I can nurture it. ANXIETY
- mcmillen 5y agoHi! I'm the author of the Perl paint-splatter paper. "That lady" is Adrienne Porter Felt, who started as an engineer working on Google Chrome security a decade or so ago, and is now a Director of Engineering who manages a sizable chunk of the Chrome team. I never worked with her directly, but she has a reputation as a good manager and I'm pretty sure she knows how programmers work.
