(2006-07-10) Yegge Wizard School

Steve Yegge imagines a Wizard School, a 7-yr Boarding School (Apprenticeship for The Craft) graduating 18yr-olds (Educating Kids) to become coders and CTO-s who end up as millionaires by 22. An interesting alternative to High School and a College Education. Hmm, but I Commented you'd have to interview 10-yr-olds, and I don't think anyone has a predictive process for that... And if such a kid changed their minds, and didn't want to be a programmer anymore, what else would they do? Steve actually makes a pretty good argument that they end up as Renaissance people anyway, but I'm not sure I buy that for teenagers.
