Unless your IQ is above 140 you stand no chance. The world has a lot of very smart people and it would be better for your mental health to make peace with the fact that you are probably just above average on the bell curve and that you are not anything special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.
"Best programmer ever" =/= Success, the key word being "best".
You can no doubt be extremely successful without being the best at something, or particularly intelligent.
But becoming "one of the best programmers ever" would require an extremely high level of computer science knowledge and understanding (at least in my eyes), which boils down to many different disciplines of mathematics. This would obviously correlate with high intelligence.
I'm of course using a generous interpretation of the word "programmer" - someone who can analyze problems, design, and implement efficient solutions to any number of problems in computing.
