honestly, I felt this way in elementary school, all the way back to 3rd grade. It seems stupid, there were probably only a couple other kids around who knew anything about programming. One knew C++ and I thought 'damn, I only know Visual Basic'. I remember programming for independent research projects and thinking 'Of course I'll get an easy grade because the teacher doesn't know how to program and can't see how simple my project is, I'll hand them a pile of code and a working program and I'll get an A'. I was making RPGs in 7th grade but felt it was insignificant until I learned how to build a real game with real 3d graphics, etc. The feeling continued until maybe 11th or 12th grade when I started learning OO programming and really felt confident when I started introductory classes in college.
