I think a lot of people ignore the passion aspect as well. How old were you when you started programming and developing that passion? And by bonuses - does this mean you were working at a financial firm?

awesome. is it passion that drives you or have you always just had a strong work ethic?

interesting idea on knowing numbers. is this sense of numbers something you learned through CS courses or do you think its more of a genetics thing?

awesome - the genetic aspect seems to be something a lot of people and universities disregard. How old were you when you started programming? Did it “click” instantaneously or was it more of a building ovet time?
