Taught a class of 10-year-olds to code their first game today. One kid's character shoots rainbows. This is what peak engineering looks like.

My student just asked me: "Can AI code better than you?" I said probably. He said: "Then why do we need to learn?" Best classroom discussion ever.

Teaching kids to debug is teaching them to think. Break the problem down. Check assumptions. Test one thing at a time.

A student asked me if they should learn Python or JavaScript first. I said: learn to think logically first. The language comes second.
