You can't become a highly paid engineer today with just books and punch cards. I don't know why any of that is relevant. So porn is part of the issue? Really?

  No one mentioned just a book and punch cards. > So porn is part of the issue? Really? Isn't that your claim? You needed access to sites your parents wouldn't have allowed to become the engineer you are today?

    See my other comment below for a more detailed answer but: no, my claim is not that I needed porn to become the engineer I am today. But the level of restrictions proposed by the top level comment in this thread would have, and it seems blocking porn is a driving factor in those decisions. Social media addiction, etc. can be helped by restricting time without restricting access.

      What would you reply to the person here[1] who wishes they had restricted access instead of restricted time, because restricted time hindered them learning to code? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37357463 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37357463
