Programming is the equivalent of Football. A decent amount of NFL players didn't play the sport until their late teens, some even waited until their early twenties! This is unheard of for any other competitive sport. This occurs often where pure speed (receiver) and size (offensive lineman) are at a premium. There are trained mathematicians and scientists that can outhink most programmers: your b might be greater, but their m is steeper (y=mx+b).
