It appears near the very bottom of the interview, but I think it’s super important: pedagogy of programming, especially in the context of programmers teaching their own children. I think we’re at once in a very privileged but also cursed position.
LOGO the programming language is simply beautiful from a pedagogical perspective, and I’ve done a bit of Logo programming with my kids when they were younger. IBM Logo in dosbox was what I ended up going with – there is a fantastic immediacy to the system that you don’t often see nowadays. I think the closest we get is PICO-8.
Curious if other parent lobsters have experiences with LOGO programming. Seems to have been a big thing in Europe in the 80’s and early 90’s, but not so much across the pond.
