I can't think of a better day than today to teach my daughter to code.

I chose the Go programming language. My daughter is well beyond the "hello world" stuff so I figured we'd create our own time package.

Figured I'd sneak in a little history lesson while I was at it.

I taught her how to write docs, unit tests, and usage examples too.

If I was starting at her age I'd learn a bit of error handling too. So we hacked on a more complex issue to drive the point home.

Now she has another tool under her belt to deal with such issues.
