I would absolutely love to teach programming to non-programmers. I have also been offered a job at the technical school where I graduated. But remembering how uninterested the vast majority of my classmates were back then discouraged me from even trying.

Of course not all is bad, but I'd love to see some creativity again, it seems like almost no one dares to break the norm anymore.

In retrospect I should have reported that first dentist for fraud or something.
