The only reason I got into development (and have a successful career) today is because I was able to work on what I wanted to prior to starting said career. If a parent had 'tasked' me with anything, it would have turned me off. Not because I'm disobedient or anything, but because I have disabilities that don't agree with that method of learning.
For the record, 'tasked' is probably not the best word to describe for what exactly happened (English is not my native language). In fact, what happened was this:
- Dad, I'm so done with this Snake game, give me some other task?
- Ok, how about making that LZW thing we talked earlier?
Can you explain more? My whole life I felt the same. If I have to do something, I just hate it and can't move forward. But if is my choice Im really good a it.

Isn't the general term for that a "problem with authority"? ;)
