  I really don't find it insane. Young people have much more powerful brains, they just have to learn programming at a younger age. I did it, and I find myself (and others who learnt programming as kids) better programmers than those who learnt in college.

  Is that chart on the bottom of the profile his performance improvement over time? That would be pretty cool, like 3 years ago he was just a normal programmer (a 13 year old programmer, though)... Or is it accumulated points?

    It's the former.
