Seems these kids are going into sedentary lifestyle pretty soon and taking on stress early on in their lives. I would imagine that there would be some negative effects due to that. But some kids might be just right for it.
That said, I do wonder what the success rate of the youngster is. Would I let my son go to a hacker house (or whatever you want to call it) instead of college?
I wonder how many of them will still be working in tech at 35.
(My uncle was kinda like that... got into the industry at an early age, was a big name on the Internet in the early 90s -- he was even listed in some of those old "Internet directories" and owned [our last name].com for the rest of his life -- and then he burned out, quit the tech industry, and became a cab driver... he ultimately became an alcoholic and died in his fifties)
What does that even mean? Watch them work? Watch their wacky bro antics after work? Watch them work while bro'ing down?
