I am glad to hear it :D And what were/are the difficulties? Do you still feel that you are missing something out?

How you decided to start it at that 'age'? :D Any programmer friends or something else?

I got into it through making sites and gifs for art. It was fun, kludging things. Trying to get to industry standard was and is still a huge challenge as I don't have a CS degree. And definitely, had a peer group who were artists and devs too.

I realize this is the only thing I like so I have no choice but to keep trying. lol
