I know Michelle, and it's impressive that she started coding just two summers ago. Testament to the fact that it doesn't take long to become a good programmer

I just clicked to the fact she's the same person behind PeerJS.

Impressive is a slight understatement.

Depends on your definition of "good programmer".

Haha, I'm a programmer who will write 21 nested callbacks no more :). That's enough for me to claim for now.

Unless I'm missing some wit, that seems uncalled-for.

And judging by her github profile, she's a good programmer by any reasonable definition.

Sorry, I was not attacking anyone in particular. It's just that there are so many facets to programming, and being good at it really depends on the context.

That said, anyone that learns from their mistakes will become great.
