If what you are doing can be done by a 13 year old, that is your reality.
What I do requires years and years of experience/study, and 90% of the 20 year olds cannot do it, and that is being very conservative.
Of course you are talking about the average developer. But your average health personnel aren't doctors, they are nurses or assistants. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, parent said obscure hardware, so hardly useful for most people. And it sounded more like a personal activity, it is not clear he/she did publishing or upstreaming or blogging about it.
By the way: actual drivers for complex hardware are nowadays mostly written or maintained by companies.
However, let's not put every game in the same bag. A shootout to all indie games that simply make games that start and end.
That is 100% subjective.
For instance, I can easily argue that breaking kernels and writing drivers for obscure hardware does not add any real value for society as a whole.
However, playing and socializing with people does create value for society, specially in this day and age where people is evermore alone, if only in reduction of antidepressants ;)
Not like those immature infants that play games. Got it!
If you do not have enough free time for your child, maybe you should consider not having them. The same way you would if you did not have the finances right or anything else that may affect them...
Anyway, neither AI nor security cover that much of CS (they are parts of CS, and there are many others). Games, however, heavily use both of them (and many other parts of CS).
If this is true, I really don't understand how people can live in the USA.
Go to Canada, Europe or something!
The same way there are more "mature" movie plots than those that you are (kind of) mocking, there are also more mature books than children stories, more varied music than pop summer songs and, indeed, more games than your "nth clone of shooting aliens".
By the way, I have had a nice daughter and health scares like anybody else, and no, that has nothing to do with maturity or with games becoming boring. There are many game genres and of course you like different ones when you are 15 vs. when you are 50. I literally thought like you in my early 30s, when I had literally zero free time and kept thinking "yeah I am past that, leave it to the young generation, I am responsible now".
