I wish I could retweet that, but no such thing here. :)
I'm not affiliated with the asker but I'd like to thank everyone too, this is encouraging--I'm 23. I've been regretting my youth lately because I don't feel that I'm a good programmer at my age. I learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript when I was 12 or 13 by tinkering with my Friendster profile layout. But there's not really a hacker culture where I come from, so while the passion has always been there, it wasn't cultivated as I grew older.
