Once or twice my Dad got mad at me growing for spending so much time on the computer and said “are you just gonna spend your whole life on the computer!?”

I can now say confidently that the answer is, yeah, pretty much.

@collin I had a very similar situation. I had a single mother raising me and my siblings, so my uncle and grandparents were involved in raising us. Growing up they'd always say I'd amount to nothing always "playing around on the computer". Mind you I was learning to program and not playing games,. But they're a blue collar family and highly discouraged and frowned upon me taking an intellectual path through life.

@collin had the same experience. Now: “you make how much by spending all the time on computers? And you get to do it from HOME????”
