Lying is lying irrespective of gender. No way a 16yo kid can design start-to-end an app, learn how to code, learn how to build the UI, etc. Unless by "mentor"

Lying is lying irrespective of gender. No way a 16yo kid can design start-to-end an app, learn how to code, learn how to build the UI, etc.
Unless by "mentor" (as seen on the dialogue-screesnhot) means "X and Y designed this and that for me so all I did was put my name in the front page).
- hood_syntax 9y agoThey could, they just probably wouldn't be 16 by the time they finished learning how to do it.
- zachlatta 9y agoDon't underestimate young people. We have hundreds of people doing this in https://hackclub.com https://hackclub.com, many of whom are 16 or younger.
- onion2k 9y agoA decade is more than enough time to become extremely competent. I've know 16 year olds who started learning to code when they were 6. Plenty of developers teach their kids from very young ages. Of course a 16 year old could write a great app.
- vertex-four 9y agoA 16yo kid who's had multiple years of learning how to program, and a good work ethic, could very well do that - I had published applications at around that age that had users. I don't think a young age is in itself a reason to be suspicious of plagiarism.
- NightlyDev 9y agoI see no reason why a 16 year old shouldn't be able to do that, and it's not that uncommon, especially these days with all the great resources available online.
- rco8786 9y agoI’d love to hear your reasoning for why a 16 year old person couldn’t do those things.
