Carmack: Has early Scratch experience led to fulfilling careers?
I still see the Scratch “visual programming” environment positioned as an introductory path to programming for kids, but unlike game modding, I have never heard a “success story”, where someone credits their early experience with Scratch as key to a fulfilling career. Anyone?
Summary
John Carmack questions the impact of Scratch on career success, noting a lack of notable success stories from those who started with the visual programming platform. He contrasts it with game modding, suggesting a deeper exploration of how early programming experiences shape future opportunities.
