What an absolutely horrible take.
Here's a kid who's found something he's passionate about and loves what he's doing and all you can do is say "get a life".
We rarely get to pick what we're passionate about. We go through life and, if we're lucky, we stumble upon something that piques our interest. We don't pick when that happens either. You could find your passion when you're 7 or when you're 70, or anywhere in between. It could be technology, cooking, baking, art, music, gardening, exercise, a sport, or any other thing on an endless list.
People who are passionate about something, anything, are the most interesting people to talk to.

- stanmancan 3y agoA lot of teenagers spend a significant amount of time scrolling social media in their phone; is they a better use of time? My closest friends are the ones I share similar hobbies and interests with. We have more in common and lots to talk about. Growing up I had very little in common with my friends and other than hanging out and drinking together we didn’t have anything else. Those friendships didn’t last very long.
