Rust Software engineer.
At a very young age, maybe 12yo, a friend of my mom's knew I liked computers, maths, and english, so he sent a youtube course to me on python. And I just couldn't stop watching it. Since then I've learnt a few more languages, but Rust stuck in my mind and I simply loved every part of it. Recently I received an offer to work with Rust on a financial company and I've never been so excited about a job :3
You just described my nephew. He saved up to buy the dolphin hacking tool, I gave him an old laptop to do his more dangerous stuff on so he didn't break his current one, stuff like that. Built his own keyboard, 3d prints me fun shit like a pocket knife wall rack. He's barely in 6th grade. Loves making his own board game rules and messing around with programming and make space stuff.
He is a little autistic and has trouble controlling emotions, explodes easily, but can occupy himself with awesome tech stuff.
I'm autistic too :D
If you show him the game Kerbal Space Program I'm sure he'll love it! And always incentive breaking shit, it's how humans learn ❤️
Thats awesome bud!
