What really happens is that the infant is the teacher. The parents are reduced to sleep-deprived diaper-changers who serve a tyrant who can't walk or talk. Do that for a while and your priorities and worldview have now been reprogrammed.

The kid grows up a bit and now dad, who was so full of wise lessons, is suddenly watching the kid eat a caramel apple for the first time, or riding a tricycle, or going on a water slide. The dad has nothing to teach, the dad gets to re-learn the joy of simple things.

But like others say, just read to them, play with them, be interested in them as little people...the rest will take care of itself.

Now they're realizing that all "work" is tech related, and younger one is actually taking comp sci.

Did the author get their programming skill from their parents? I feel it's a quite weird question.

That seems pretty good. I might add "curious" and "skeptical."
