- 28304283409234 4y agoYup. Sounds like 13 to me!
- pxc 4y agoPraising children, even when it involves a nominal comparison to oneself 'at that age' or whatever, is about celebrating their successes, not actually competing with them.
- chaorace 4y agoTechnically, that's how all praise is supposed to work. Comparing accomplishments is a short-circuit pathway to tearing others down.
- sirtomato 4y agoWhat the hell!? I started at 9 or something and I still can't write anything useful
- kitsunesoba 4y agoYeah, if my memory isn’t failing me, at that age I think I was mostly doing desktop customization stuff by downloading/making Kaleidoscope schemes and wallpapers and editing resource forks with ResEdit. I’d started dabbling in REALBasic and could build some toy apps with it, but nothing terribly complex or useful. When I see teenagers founding Linux distros and reverse engineering GPUs it seems a little crazy. Impressive and good, but it’s hard to imagine being that technically capable at that age.
