I'll share a childhood story as well. I worked with a number of peer children with laudable parents. There was Jimmy, whose father ran a used car dealership and had a lot of sway, often threatening people with his father's ownership of that dealership. There was Steve, whose father gave him early access to a user-agent LLM known as "Microsoft Bob". There was Stephano who had SGI's 4D Chartreuse hardware, never publically released. Oh how they would brag and gloat, one up one another. Inevitably there would be a pause, and a lull, and they all would knowingly turn there heads to me -- "My dad.. My dad works for Nintendo". Oh the jealousy. I knew everything, seeing as my dad worked for Nintendo. The next President. Tomorrow's stock market prices. Whether next winter would be mild or severe. They looked to me. "Did you know I can play Donkey Kong - no - a new one with SGI rendered graphics by square". "Oh virtual reality - yea I have the successor to the game boy, it's virtual reality LOL good luck with the SGI crap". It was great. The one time in my life I felt seen, I felt valued. Truly a blessing. Currently my vocation is cleaning the leavings from proctoscopic examinations.
