    Thank you for the read, it is a very good story. It was funny for me that a programmer would reinvent the wheel from first concepts, even if that reinvention needed to create computation again.

    I think it shows that overreliance on computers would make us abstract basic concepts until no one knows such things as basic arithmetic.

        I have heard various teachers on social media speak out about the current education system in the USA.

        It is dire out there with students using AI with text to speech and speech to text to avoid reading.

          Apparently, actual techbros make sure their kids don’t see a screen until they’ve graduated college.

            It is the comparison between the tech enthusiast with doors that open with a command and the tech user that has a gun next to their printer if it makes a weird sound.

            I would wait until after the kid has finished elementary school and under supervision. My kid should want to play with his friends outside and sometimes with an online game, not stay in social media watching short-form content all day.
