I too, only had one thing from the list (the job, coding for a company that didn't understand programming). While I had access to computers from a young age, I didn't have free access. I also didn't start seriously programming until college either. I wish I could slap my younger self and tell him where his priorities should lie.
This post was not intended to be a "Look at all these great things I've got" but rather a discussion of how good hackers come to be. I feel incredibly inadequate when I read about people like Drew Huston, who started coding at 5. All I can do is keep moving forward.
