Now just think how awesome you would be if you had learned how to code when you were seven years old.
Not that much, if I happened to want to work in any other totally unrelated profession, like a language teacher or a chef or a doctor. Now, imagine how awesome I would be at MY chosen non-coding profession, if I had learned it since seven years old. Which actually doesn't make sense, because I hadn't made my choice of profession yet.
So let seven years olds just be, and if some of them are programming prodigies, OK, but not everyone has to learn to code. It's just programmers thinking they are "the shit".
Here's another thought: kids are the future, teach them how to behave and be considerate.
