If you ever wanted to feel inferior...

Check out this kid: https://github.com/BytecodeX

He's building AOKP JB for the P500 (Optimus One), he's developing like...3 other roms. And, oh yea, he's been doing it since he was 12 (he's now a whopping 14). Amazing kid.

Also, find his thread for AOKP on XDA at [UNOFFICIAL] [ROM] [BETA] [JB] Android Open Kang Project - LG-P500 - Build #3 (BETA1) - Page 5 - xda-developers

...and we have our own developers working on the same thing.

But still, a 14 year old doing this is impressive. Gotta give him props!

Oh, by no measure was it means as a cut to the dev team here, or to anyone at all. At 14, I was more concerned that I wasn't going to get a date to Prom and that hair was growing in weird places. I knew like, 4 words of Spanish, and while I was already online at the time (I was ahead of the curve!) programming was all greek, and it continues to frustrate me now at 32.

By comparison, by the time he's my age, he's likely to have a solid 16 years of experience, and is likely to be fluent in more than a few computer languages, some probably dead by then. It's amazing, and it's humbling for me. At the same time, I wanted to give a guy that's doing some "future work" for our device a little hand up, maybe increase his potential testing pool some, and make people aware that the next generation of developers is very concerned with our little Opti One.

Hats off, kid!

Kids today are a different breed when it comes to computers.. I've heard of many 15-16 year olds out there today that know 2 or 3 programming languages and now build kernels and stuff for our devices as a time passer while they wait to get into college to really develop their skills.

Basically your saying, can we have it. I've seen you ask that xD.

For someone young doesn't mean its hard for them to Learn. Gannon.and Seller's learned very quick.
