Gates and Zuckerberg tell kids to learn programming

All things awesome.

Yeah... they're STILL pushing that myth that programming is the way to have a great future. I guess both of these goons have completely forgotten how the market has become flooded with programmers from India, the Philippines, South Africa... you name it. And how in addition to depressing the market through hyper-abundant supply of code-jockeys, employers have decided that they don't WANT to hire Americans, 'cause they're "lazy."

These creeps need to just go off somewhere and live happily ever after with their billions while the rest of us actually try to figure out a REAL strategy for making a living in this sh!t-hole world.

There was a time in my life were code was very important. It still allows me to manage so much of my life, and led me to where I am today.

I do think it's a very important skill-set that sets you a part from the flock.

However the two most important skills to teach your children, is 1) how to lie, and 2) how to make changes to yourself to become a product. (Followed up thirdly by a master's degree and a foreign language).
