Righteous Javascript, Dude! (Being a teenage programmer)
summary
Built a dosh script that compiles a JavaScript dialect from the doge meme and moved from apprentice to hired developer at diy.org, arguing two big barriers for teens: media perception and patchy high‑school curricula. Recommends JavaScript because every computer has a browser console for zero‑setup hello world, shows voxeljs for voxel games, cites Johnny‑Five/NodeBots for robotics and Canvas/WebGL for generative art, and urges mentorship and apprenticeships as practical pathways.
