I'm an 18 year old developer. How do I become one of the best programmers ever?

Age 8: Started learning 3D software and CAD. Age 16: Got a job doing CNC programming for an aerospace mold tooling company. Age 17: Got my first web developer job. Age 18: Got my second web developer job.

On every team I've worked with, I've always been the youngest. I learn very quickly.

I want to be one of the best programmers in the world, but I have a long way to go.

What is the best use of my time outside of work? What are some strategies for success? I want to push my limits as far as possible.
