> Born in a wealthy enough family that can afford computers and education for their children Well i write web apps too and i can confirm it. I have not been agle to get my hands on a smartphone. And it's been ages and i still don't have a smartphone despite of listening and talking about it for years. People usually ignore this. Some time back, there was a kid who wrote ipad apps. I felt this that time too, he was more lucky. I haven't ever seen an ipad IRL let alone use it or own it. If i had an ipad when i was 12, i would have been very happy and probably better coder than i am today. Having access to all of this is a great help if you have it and albeit not a road blocker exactly but still a discouraging thought if you don't have them. Reading about such stuff everyday but never getting a chance to use them is not the best thing you would want for yourself. Only i know how much i want a smart device but i am still not able to get it. So yes, being lucky definitely counts. Although i would like to point out that i am getting education and my parents are still super supportive.
