#302I need to get a job in a diffrent field. Things like this make me remember how stupid everyone in IT really is.
Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

#303Congratulations! I showed your project to my 12 year old son who has just started to learn programming (in JS no less!) and his jaw dropped. In addition to being a programmer, you are now a role-model. Really well done.
>I showed your project to my 12 year old son who has just started to learn programming (in JS no less!) It would be much better if he would start with Scratch, Processing, Smalltalk, or even Python. On JS he'll have to lose time coping with complicated build tools, horrible package system, async etc.
You need none of those things to get started with JS development
It’s still perfectly possible to just create a html document, shove in a script tag, and start developing
And if you want to use packages from the npm ecosystem you can easily use https://unpkg.com/

#304I guess I'm the only one here doubting that the combination of both this project and the language used in the comment replies is coming from a 12 year old. Take it as a compliment if it's legitimate.
Probably not the only one, it's very common for people to be extremely prejudiced against the young. As with other prejudices, of course, it's wrong and only scores accurate evaluations by chance. The only thing which prevents any person, of any flavor or age or background or whatever, from producing such work and comporting themselves in such a manner is not having learned it or not practicing it themselves. Anythin…
No, it's not the same as doing that for women or black people.
People lie about their gifted child to get them exposure all the time. People doing that with art comes to mind. Or even just a parent doing assignments for their kid.
You're not being creative enough if you can't imagine a world in which someone would lie about something on the internet for attention.
