17 y.o. here (no MacBook, and no MongoDB for now mind-you); I'm very excited for possible innovation in parenting, and I hope there's at least a healthy subset in the HN community sharing that interest.

The coffee shop kids will keep coming though I guess, maybe we could find a way to get them on track while we wait for the first batch to mature.

I was gonna guess that you also must know about syscalls, but judging by your username maybe you're more into message passing. ;)

It was a phase, multiprocess debugging is every shade of hell on one rainbow with a pot of self loathing at the end.

I changed my IRC nick to microcode after microcolonel, unfortunately HN doesn't afford that luxury.

P.S. Most message passing APIs require some system calls, nay?

U.S. generations aren't growing in size, so no they don't.

The number of programmers per capita per generation today is much higher, so yes they do.
