We should never introduce filters to education and understanding. It is immoral.

Giving examples of tenacious kids battling their tooling is evidence that we should increase the slope of the difficulty curve. This isn’t how pros train, this is how you self select for kids you don’t have to teach.

Alright kindergarten, today we're gonna right ahead with calculus part II.

Even if we "take the gloves off as soon as possible", there is a point at which Snap is brilliant. Are you going to teach Python to primary schoolers?

I think we agree? Snap is brilliant and we should strive to teach everyone a subject, not just those that get-it on the first try. I don't think we should make things harder than they must be.
