Good Point. I was interested in computers all my life.
I went to a computer class when I was like 14 and was first in the class (they taught how to use MS Paint, Play prince of persia and solitare, I knew using MS Office). Then the summer class was over, and from then, I only used computers from browsing cafes sparingly.
After seven long years, I got my own PC. Then, I learned lot of things, everything on my own with the help of generous people in the interwebz. After three years, I started my first company, with my first computer. While I started, I was proficient with HTML/CSS and fairly okey with PHP. I've built real websites and worked for real clients, all because of 3 years of my hobby time.

My Point is, if you like programming or hacking tech stuff, then amount of time doesn't matter.
The only envy I have with coding kids is, they are free, in the sense they don't have pressure to earn money, as we adults have, So, they can enjoy the fun part of programming more.
