&gt;I&#x27;ve seen multiple articles talking about people as young as 10 years old creating apps. This wasn&#x27;t possible in the 80s and 90s.<p>In 1980s UK kids were writing games that sold in their hundreds of thousands.<p>Maybe not 10 year olds, but 16 year olds like Christian Urquhart, Matthew Smith, Eugene Evans are well known names I can remember off the top of my head. There were other, less known, even younger kids than that writing popular games, and even more younger kids learning to program.
