I hate people with motivation like that, they make me look bad.

I've still got my fucking Software Engineering degree (as of last week :D) though, as long as inolen stays in emplyoment and in America at least that's one prodigy I don't have to compete with to get a job :D

You're taking this further than it needs to go. I find the fact that she spoke with Bill Gates to be nothing more than a publicity stunt.

MS certs aren't as easy as they used to be by a longshot. Read up on it sometime.

In case you didn't notice it all throughout the thread she is half inolens age (which makes her accomplishment more impressive IMO). If she continues on the way she has been she will make an amazing dev.
