Kids Want to Play Programmer

The kids wanna play “programmer” like daddy so I’m gonna make them go sit and read documentation for 4 hours, curse at a text editor for 2 hours, then write a single console.log statement.

A Twitter screenshot shows a programmer joking about making children read documentation, curse at a text editor, and finally write one console.log statement when they want to play programmer. The punchline exaggerates the frustrating, time-consuming reality of programming as a humorous reaction to romanticized views of coding.
