I saw them the same in boxing. From time to time a newbie would show up at the gym who just seemed to understand the sport on a deeper level from the start. It seemed they were born for it. Interestingly a lot of them didn’t enjoy the sport so they didn’t pursue it further. If you have somebody with this level of talent, who enjoys the sport and has the right work ethic you have a champion. I wonder how many potential top programmers just into another area because they weren’t interested in programming. I remember one physicist I worked with who had no interest in programming but probably was one of the best programmers I have met. For him it was just a tool to accomplish his goals in developing cell phone technology.
