I get the outrage against WhiteHat Jr but sorry guys. Society (us!) says:
IIT-IIM = success
Foreign education = success
Startups = success
Coding = success
Which parent doesn't want his/her kid to be successful?

Have you even seen the tons and tons of money that startups attract? And coding is critical in startups. Which parent doesn't want his/her kid to be successful?

Have you seen the huge amounts of success that Indian techies have in the US? Which parent doesn't want his/her kid to be successful?

This is a free market. VCs have tons of money. Ads sell, ads work, coding works. The onus is on us as parents to get our shit together. Fin.

Oh and finally, I've heard SO many people go "oh I wish I'd learnt coding at age 5" and "coding structures our thought process, it's a necessary skill in life". So guys pls.

This right here is the bigger problem. This long read from @TheKenWeb today on how the two giants are stifling and crushing dissent:
