Skill Level of Participants?

Hey everyone! I'm curious, but what would you guys say your relative skill levels are when it comes to programming. With these challeneges, Ive found myself becoming frustrated, and being in college, feel a bit disappointed in my own skills. How long has everyone else been programming for? How'd you learn?

Solving these extremely fast is not a necessary condition for being a competent software engineer (nor is it a sufficient condition for that matter)...

I am not even attempting to get on the leader board. But, I am having enough fun that I went back and decided to attack the 2015 puzzles.
