1. Great Story

I pissed off a lot of my engineering buddies when I said I could do the same thing in the 90's... glad this kid put it into action.

Thanks for sharing

2. The school where I work

just did an exercise last week called, "Hour of Code". It's an initiative to introduce k-12 kids to coding as part of Computer Science Education Week.

It was a lot of fun for the kids and the adults learned a little something too!

3. The attitude that "some people just aren't suited for certain things" is pompous.
