If my kid's first words aren't Hello World, then what even was the point?

They say the damnedest things...

My son was three when he first saw a Linux machine boot up, to which he replied wow! A robot!!
I knew then he has it in him to do anything with a computer.

I taught my eight yr old how to echo strings in bash and she was floored.
I showed her how to code in html, she was making 80's style webpages!

It's all in getting them to be curious, once they get curious they get into it.
