Its features a number of 'IT celebrities' (how times of changed - who would have thought the ability to create php website would make you a teen pin-up and role model!), who talk about their experiences in learning to program and how its been influential.
A comment made is that "the ability to code is like a super power", really, wow, check me out, I'm an IT superman.
So I did my research and found a great list of supernatural powers, http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Supernatural_Powers_and_Abilities, and while the list is very extensive (my favorites being pyric exhalation and feral mind), my 'powers' of problem solving, a good understanding of technology, programming and logic with a mediocre knowledge of mathematics don't seem to be listed.
I'm pretty sure I don't get permission to wear my underwear outside my clothes!
I found Alan O'Donohoe's video even more inspiring.
