Where did you get your knowledge? With places like HackerNews along with folks like yourself and myself writing posts about this kind of stuff it becomes trivial to walk down a rabbit hole for anyone of any age. Think back to how much you accomplished when you were younger because you were walking in the footsteps of others. :)

- war1025 6y agoA magical thing about high school / college that people fail to appreciate is how few actual responsibilities you have at that age. It's why kids are able to devote so many hours to video games and other time waster stuff. Only difference is this person managed due to luck / skill / timing to end up on a more productive path. Time commitment is the big impediment for most open-source projects. Late adolescence / young adulthood is one of the few periods of life where you both are competent enough to do useful things and have enough free time to actually commit to that work.
