But he’s not saying that it’s a career opportunity.
It seems to me like he’s saying that doing this thing would be 1) fun and 2) a great way to become employable in the future. I don’t believe he’s saying that this project would be some kind of job training exercise.
sounds like a great way to not establish social skills
It’s not either/or. You can do 2 things.
I never thought of that :)
I "guess" you could put all your effort into moving up to the next level in computer science, or you could put the same progressive effort into reaching new levels in video games on the same hardware.
Alternatively you could even put all your effort into social activities and leave the technology to other people entirely.
It might even be possible to find a balance between things that are widely "understood" "socially", and those that are not ;)
