      As a programmer I’m struggling to see why this makes the kid a potential programmer.

      I should clarify that I’m not a good programmer but they pay me.

        Pretty much every professional programmer I’ve ever met either feels the way you describe in your latter sentence or is convinced they’re the best ever. There is rarely an in between.

          I’ve heard this said before when I’m being particularly neurotic.

          What’s crazy is it can happen within the span of an hour.

          Like I’m not good at this and they’re just too kind to fire me, then I solve something and I’m like I AM THE CHOPIN OF PROGRAMMING NOTHING CAN TOUCH ME.

            It’s a lot less upsetting to watch from the outside than it is to experience, regardless of which way the needle is swinging.
