Ask HN: How do I get my brother into programming?
My brother is a somewhat hopeless 21-years-old, working in the service industry, who never completed his studies and spent most of his teenage years partying.
I am a software engineer, running a tech startup and earning a top-five-percent salary in my home country.
Here is the thing: I bet my ass my brother has my same IQ (if not higher). He is deep into video games and crazy good at them and a good problem solver in real life. He might be missing purpose/direction and I think programming might be a way out.
What's the best way to introduce him to programming in a way that's not dull and could sparkle his interest?
