What others need to understand is that, unlike the older generation, kids today have grown up in the era of easily accessible computing. Someone who is 17 today was born in the year the original iPhone was introduced. Computing literacy is not only required, it is expected from a very young age. What might have been impressive to us 20-30 years ago is not really the same as it is now.
Cool project, but as other commenters have pointed out, the self-promotion of off-putting. Don't hold on to using your age as a qualifier to make you stand out in job applications or otherwise.
- vimy 3y agoIt’s the opposite. Computer literacy has gone down for gen Z, iOS and Android are too simple and locked down. So this is very impressive at that age.
- marcus0x62 3y agoDid you read the first paragraph after you wrote it? If you did, and then posted it anyway, I don’t really know what to say. But, in any case, “Computing literacy” != “wrote a debugger.” Your post comes off more delusional (or just ignorant) than the OP ever came off as self-promotional.

- Bombinator 3y agoIsn't that implying OP is a script kiddie? I don't think writing a debugger is a script kiddie project.
