Hey Avi,

I noticed that your a teen who develops a lot, so I thought maybe it would be cool if you were a part of an upcoming teen developer community similar to HN that I'm working on right now at http://teen2geek.com. Also, if you don't mind my asking, how did you become so experienced in computer science so early in high school? I noticed that some of your software is now shipped default in some Linux distros, and that is really impressive, so I would love some tips from you :)

Hey,

Cool initiative — I've signed up!

As for how I got involved so early, the answer is curiosity, Google, open source, and fake-it-till-you-make-it. Just go out and build the things you want to build — not the thing you think you can build.

Thanks man! I'll try to follow your advice,and hopefully make it as far as you have!
