I wonder why people always say things like "even more impressive because he's a high schooler". I feel like I did some of my best stuff at that age, and certainly had the most creativity going around in my head. A person in that age, given enough resources (which this kid certainly had due to being in one of the best private schools in US) and bit of luck can move mountains.

Not to be so gloomy, let's also remember Tolkien, who published The Hobbit at age 45.
