    Meh, how many of these "wonder kids" we saw during the last dotcom bust a decade ago and yet we hear nothing from them nowadays?

    I read something about this kid daniel a while ago: his startup is merely a custom wordpress site, not even coded (if you can call putting a WP site together coding) by him but some 25 yr old which he payed for that if I recall correctly.

    But you know whats even funnier? Back in my teens I would stumble with guys like daniel all the time. They were a dime-a-dozen, and all of them my age or even a couple years older.

    Problem? well, to put it simple none of them could keep up with the BS: having some knowledge in tech just didnt compare to a CS graduate, and as soon as they reached their 20s the bright kid was replaced by an average guy who couldnt do what most of his peers did everyday.

    Being so reluctant to even try college, to the point of calling it a waste of time ('cause working in a common startup for 5 years until its bankrupt really pays out!) this kid is going to find himself flipping burgers and living with his parents well into his 30s.

    In a scam like this, you can only keep pumping bullshit until a better scammer comes by, which is what daniel over here is going to learn the hard way in a few years from now.

    This kid is basically a product, like a star child being push fowards by his money-grabbing parents.

    I'm trying to figure if the lack of Girl Wonders is because of patent sex bias on the part of the media gatekeepers, or if it's because they've got cooties and (except for Mom) are sorta yucky. #wehateyourkids

    Forget about the angry spirit from the film, Paranormal. The demons lurking in the shadows surrounding these children are ambitious and obnoxious parents who see themselves as failures.

    None of these children are doing anything that significantly adds to the common culture. They are bright and personable, but they aren't Mozart.

    Childhood is to be spend wandering, dreaming and trying out various personalities. I spent my childhood blowing things up and masturbating. Which is why I am fairly happy adult.

    I wouldn't guess that this is any less fraught with pitfalls than being a child entertainer, and there are a hell of a lot more casualties in that field than there are folks like Kurt Russell and Ron Howard... #wehateyourkids
