Ask HN: To encourage new coders should we adopt a new approach?
Does anyone need to be encouranged to do anything? Expose kids to programming when they&#x27;re young, give them resources and opportunities to learn and the ones that are interested will get deeper into it; and some of the people who don&#x27;t pick it up when they&#x27;re young will come back to it later in life. Everyone else can go about their life and pursue the things that they like instead of being encouraged to do whatever.
