I'm much more impressed about the age than the gender. The title of the article makes it sound that by virtue of being female she overcame a handicap. Kind of silly to think like that nowadays don't you think?

Just look at what 15year old kids did with the demo scene in the 90s. Not diminishing her (or anyone's) achievements but that kind of article is usually written by people who think that computers are hardcore black magic and only prodigies and people with a master in CS are able to program them.
