Doesn't anyone else find this post obnoxious? Well I do. Okey, you are young and maybe smarter than me, but still I would have much more respect for you if you didn't go flaunting about it.

Perhaps it was a bit obnoxious :/ I guess I was just a little excited due to the coverage. Didn't really want to come off as flaunting it as such. Sorry if it came off that way, that's definitely not what I wanted to show
So I felt that too a bit - only because of the line "I'm pretty amazed at myself at the moment."

That said, he's obviously excited and has a right to be! I say let him enjoy it :)

If it was myself at 15 I would have been insufferable. This aint too bad!

Though my mother would never have me to stay up til 4am coding.

It was during half term holidays, so I didn't really have to worry about school. My mum trusts me enough to not bother complaining. She knows I'll get my work done. I'd never stay up that late on a school night.
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm in no way criticising - I'd have loved to be able to do that! I was indulged in other ways though (£25 for a C compiler was a great gift).
