This is a technical forum. One of the best traditions in engineering has always been taking beginners seriously and helping people who are trying to learn. Most of us are here because someone did the same for us. You come from a good place but I don't see why say a tech forum is a place you need to hide.
Those saying it's fine come from a good place. I come from a world where we see young people groomed, pursued and manipulated. There is no serious reason to posting your age as a minor on an adult forum.
It's crazy that in 2018 a cellular automata written in JS by a 12 year old was considered special (which it is) and today, nobody would even bat an eye because you can just vibe code this without effort.

100% this. My favourite new colleague is an intern. Why? Because watching them grow just like I once did is worth every penny.
(Ps: yes, I'd rather have two passionate, eager interns under my wings than one burnt-out senior by my side.)

Brothers think alike ;)

It would still be impressive if it wasn't vibe coded.
Hold up, are you the type of person wanting to fire software teams because we can just ask the Product Owner to vibe code the new features?
