Try hanging out on irc working on some new code for your PDA and realising that half the people whose coding skills you look up to are about 12.
When I was 12, coding skills were BBC BASIC, leet coding skills were 6502 assembler, and IRC was writing a letter by hand on paper and posting it to Acorn User. I sometimes dread to think what I'd've turned out like if the range and depth of coding opportunities available to today's consumer (or the kids of today's consumer) had been around back then.
