I would teach my kid anything and everything they were willing to learn.

I imagine you have some sort of argument, I'm guessing it's a flavor of optimizing for opportunity cost?

Try to apply that same argument to English, or math... does it still hold? I'd hope not!

Instead, teach them to find joy in life. Encourage them to find passion in something creative or expressive.

I would teach my kid programming, I'll also teach them how to make a fire from friction. It doesn't matter if they ever actually need to use it, it'll make them a better human. Maybe they find they love programming, maybe they find out they love backpacking and decide to hike the PCT.

Either way I've given them a skill that might help them with some future I can't possibly predict for them.
