Kids need to be reminded that being a hacker is super fucking cool, and you aren't doing cool hackery shit on iOS.

I'm an iPhone user. But I'm also an old school hacker guy. I really want kids to learn more about this stuff.

Computing and the internet being a little bit difficult used to be a feature, not a bug. You had to learn a baseline to get involved. It wasn't accessible, but it was effective. We need more of that.

I'm really tired of helping a Gen Z person troubleshoot a problem on their PC and them struggling to understand what a path is or how to navigate a Windows filesystem to find what they need. You know? We're failing these kids and young adults. We're failing them so badly. We need to make this stuff cool again.
