Great stuff, especially this part:

But Bart, maybe you'd like a new hobby? Think of all the glory. People stopping you in the streets, asking you whether you're the sparse maintainer and asking for selfies.

You won't be a rock star or an astronaut (or a fireman, or a dinosaur, or whatever you dreamt of being when you were a wee tyke), but it's the closest us geeks will ever get.
