And just because they had, you know, math in school, that doesn't mean they don't become a mathematician.

Now, that might also be because that's something where you don't make a lot of money as a mathematician.

But you get the idea, right?

We're teaching our kids the fundamental skills of life.

And I think computer science is part of these skills.

So that's number one.

We need actually every human on this planet to understand the basics of these devices that are so dominating our lives.

And it will only get worse from here.

Sorry, that was you, the optimist, and me, the German realist.

But worse in the sense of we're going to have software and computers everywhere in our lives.

Self-driving cars and our alarm is a software and our house is controlled by software and travel is controlled by software, all that.

And so then there's the intersection of you can do it because you have learned it or you want to make that your career.

You become a professional software developer.

And I think that that's a Venn diagram that will never be perfect because not everybody in this world wants to be a software developer.

You know, people want to be outside.

People want to be in the kitchen, you know, becoming a chef.

They want to build houses and whatnot.

But to take your example now, you know, the builder that works on your house to build you a new deck or whatever.

It will now probably build software for your project that is between you and him or them and the crew.

And that software will be there for the part of the project.
