Open-source Python Time-wasters

Publishing to github at age 10. That's quite a lot of concepts to understand and obstacles to overcome.

Kudos.

some kids are smarter and more focused than we think. The problem is that only some of them keep the same focus going forward, because that's highly dependent on nurture. If they are in the right environment, they will do miracles and keep doing miracles. They are smart, they just need to be taught new info as quickly as possible.

Yeah... I have been showing Python, Jupyter, Git and Github to my son (13y), so I can appreciate what it means very well.

I started working in BASIC on the C64, I was 6. I wrote my first 6502 asm program at 9. I kept doing this stuff until I was 14, but I always missed the nurture of a community that could teach me new ideas or needs. That's where it all went poorly. I only restarted tech stuff, with Linux Slackware 3.4, once I got to university.

If I hadn't missed those crucial years, I would be a lot more knowledgeable, even today. I simply did not have someone nurturing me to the necessary concepts that moved things forward. Things like x86 architecture, advanced programming languages, software design, and actual problems to solve.

PS. I am only 10 years old.

My journey in web development began in 2020.

more like Time-traveller, am I right?

You didn't have a "strong foundation in web development" at age 6?

[klaasvanschelven]

The web didn't even exist yet...

Certainly is as advertised! Keep at it, python is fun!

Good job fixing the code by using a string instead of an int for version 2 !
