2 reasons:
first it is indeed thx to the french education system that I passed my
Astrophysics master's when I was 22 (nothing unusual about that, I
didn't skip any year ...),
second I found out about this cool formation which allows students who
already have 4 years in science at uni to do this one extensive year to
get a master's degree in cs. But of course, it's a very practical
formation since we only have one year, so we skip all the theory and
learn how to code properly, some software engineering, some db, some
network stuff... etc. And since I already had 5 five years at uni, way
to go for me :)

Nah, they only accelerate electrons to get some synchrotron radiation
there. However, I'm currently working in a lab not that far from the neutron
reactor ;)
