At 12, I was writing 6809 and 68k asm, and cracking games.
The most impressive demos in the Atari scene were written when we all were around 15.
Because we had plenty of spare time and still lived at our parent's house. And because we loved programming.
Nowadays, kids are just not interested in computers any more, besides playing Fortnite and more generally, using apps or wasting time on Youtube and Instagram.
Trivial lines of code in Javascript are now supposed to be a wonderful achievement for a 12 year old kid. Sad.
Ignore this guy
