Did you read the part where the kid said he is a 14 year old noob? How likely is it that he has any clue what kind of developer he wants to be, although the clue for his current interests is in the very first line.
How many 14 year olds know where they want to be in 5 years?
All of the above are rhetorical questions.
Yes, I read that part, but I would have thought everybody has some aspiration where they want to be. And since he is asking the questions he seems to be rather smart. Most adults still don't know what they going to be in the next five years, but still have hopes. Personally I want to win the lottery, so buying lottery tickets is something that may help me get there. It's the same thing. If somebody wants to write the next really cool FPS game, Java will not help them, but if they want to write an app that will help mom & pop with their business it might just do the trick.
