Ask HN: Are you teaching your kids to program?
A few years ago I was firmly in the camp who felt programming was a new form of literacy, and the important question wasn't "should we teach it", but "how should we teach it". These days I'm less certain, but it still feels worth doing on balance.
My own situation, in case anyone is interested: I retired a few years before LLMs took off, so I've never actually used them as a professional engineer, only on my own time. I'm currently teaching my daughters to write python on their Nintendo 3DS consoles (I used codex to build us a really nice python environment on the 3DS, including a good amount of pygame and other useful libraries). It's going well!
I would love to hear your thoughts, motivations, and experiences, if you're teaching kids to code.
