We have problems; We use code to solve them; We have a good time.

If you do not feel the drive to code for the fun of the game, then don't do it. I once met a guy who had been doing programming for at least 7 years of his life, 5 as an intern and 2 as a job. He quit because he was in it for the money not for love of the game. He found more fulfillment teaching.

There is not enough time on this earth to waste years on things that we do not enjoy.

This is an obvious recipe for disaster (a rugpull), and I'm forced to wonder if this is just by mistake or if some of the Ladybird sponsors are playing a mean game of Secret Hitler. I guess only time will tell.

When I first read this I checked the license and saw that a rugpull would be permitted. However, if someone wants to continue the project after the rugpull they could do something thing like the redis rename to redict.[0]

Very good. If the author helicopter-parents like that, the son will never learn the consequences of not studying. This doesn't even consider the possibility that the son may not need to study, already having known the material. It fails the account for the growing independence that children need. This would continue a tradition of using technology to enforce parents' will when the parents are not even present. This is harmful to the child.[0] It would be better for the parent to not do anything UNTIL the son does not due well on the test. This lets the son decide how much extra preparation he needs.
