The ways in which kids are going to change the world will be mind blowing. We teach young girls how to code with www.ladieslearningcode.com and the talent that these girls have is incredible. I can't wait for that generation to be the future CEOs and CTOs of the world.

- simeonf 14y agoHeh. Louis (awesome kid - 12 years old maybe? at PyCon) told me "I can code but I have no original ideas!" I told him to give it time...
- csense 14y agoOriginal ideas aren't a necessity in this business. Execution and timing are really important too. Anyone remember MySpace? LiveJournal? Xanga? ConnectU? I'm pretty sure they all predated Facebook, were quite similar to Facebook, and Facebook just outmaneuvered them with execution. Or think about Blizzard in the mid-to-late '90s. Warcraft/Starcraft weren't the first RTS games -- Blizzard wasn't an innovation leader -- but they were extremely polished products. Flawless execution beat first mover advantage; have you heard anything about the Dune series lately from someone who's not a hardcore retrogamer?
