pretty impressive, surely I couldn't pull this off when I was 13.

I could if I was 13 now. I started at 11, at 12 I cracked games and wrote cracktros in ASM. What's so impressive anyway?

Technically, that's how all praise is supposed to work. Comparing accomplishments is a short-circuit pathway to tearing others down.

Yeah, if my memory isn’t failing me, at that age I think I was mostly doing desktop customization stuff by downloading/making Kaleidoscope schemes and wallpapers and editing resource forks with ResEdit. I’d started dabbling in REALBasic and could build some toy apps with it, but nothing terribly complex or useful.

When I see teenagers founding Linux distros and reverse engineering GPUs it seems a little crazy. Impressive and good, but it’s hard to imagine being that technically capable at that age.
