Good point and a funny post. Although what he sees as fart apps are now "startups" that were not built but "founded" by "founders" causing major "disruption" to all billion dollar industries, unless they are addressing some multi- million dollar "niche".

It's great that people started to ask this question. In past this type of projects were entertained as a hobby, hopefully making a little impact or improving a programming skill.

I hope we get back to basics soon and bloggers will stop promoting entrepreneurs who are just looking for a lottery ticket to next instagram, but entrepreneurs who build reasonable and durable businesses.

Fun is what is missing in mainstream education...

As an "old-fart" my-own-self, it is hard to see through the eyes of younger generations.

Fart apps are a fad, and will fade in time, with some revisits from time to time.

The key could be to find MORE fun items for students to go after, rather than impose limits...
