So, in my spare time I run a little helper business that teaches children/teenagers how to program.

Theres a new kid that's been coming for around about a month, and I swear the kid is a programming deity.
He picked programming and more importantly developing remarkably quickly.
Long story short, I paid for him to go to a Hackathon in LA and he now has more business contacts than me.

You did a good deed sir, we need more people like this!

Congrats to you and the young dev. Great inspirational story. Thanks for sharing.

You may have created the next Dennis Ritchie ( or similar old-school computing sage ).
Well done and much respect to you for what you do :).

Congrats to you and him!

Thank you for the kind words!

That's great. I wish I had someone like you in my life when I was a kid.

@alybadawy I thought the same a year back that's why I started. :')

@compSci same here pretty much, was sad I didn't have encouragement but realised that doesn't stop me learning now - never too late to learn :).

Yes, completely. What a good thing to be doing with yourself.

@compSci : What's your distinction between programming and developing? Wondering the difference you're trying to point out here when the kid is solo coding.

@SharinganUchiha I use the anaology that programming is like writing a novel with no real plan. Of course for all instances this isn't remotely true.
But for children when faced with a problem in life not just when developing to break the problem down and create the solution.
It's more of a life lesson than anything else. So in short developing is the process of creation and I suppose programming is the process you use to complete that creation.

@SharinganUchiha I'm sorry if that doesn't make much sense, I didn't convey my point very well.

@compSci I think if it like this -
programming is coding, the physical creation, developing is everything in the creation process: design, planning, coding, testing etc.
Is that somewhere near your thoughts about this?

The force is strong in this one - i Can feel it 👌

Congratulations for your contribution to the dev space, sir!!

@bash-apprentice You nailed it. It's been a long day! Haha!

Maybe he is The One.

@compSci sir u rock!
