The next generation
I would dearly love to pass on my love of programming games, my burning desire to code them. But my niece and nephews have their own courses in life. None of them seem to have that internal flame to code. The youngest plays games every waking moment, and wants to be "just like his uncle". Except that when I was his age, I was coding in my room by myself, and he only writes code when I'm holding his hand.
Of course he's not me, and my only real worry is that I'll lead him away from his real path in life, resulting in years of frustration and self-doubt. I guess I now know how a parent feels, knowing that a child can do anything, but also knowing that they must find what they do best for themselves.
