The author is still in high school and shouldn't be pretending he has any authority on anything at all at this stage of his life. Especially if he can't prove it.
Wow. Egotistical much? 2nd place ain't bad. And who cares how it was made? I have just as much disdain for working in Dreamweaver, but if the site works, it works. The user doesn't care that your source code is prettier.
I'm a fool and this should be taken as self expression. Don't take this as me hating on anyone. I'm an idiot for posting this.

You come off as extremely pretentious and arrogant in this blog post. HN is normally quite supportive of younger developers, but if they act and present themselves in the manner you do then can't expect anyone's opinion of you to do anything but plummet. The design I have seen on your porfolio at http://5lin.es/portfolio/ is kinda ok but very samey and in no way entitles you to feel as though you are better than anyb…
Wow. I think you need to settle down a bit and allow your ego to deflate.

It's some teenager that will regret this article later in life. Let's not give him even more attention. It's just getting more painful for him this way.

I was also asked the same question in return, saying “I hand coded it.” I was given the deer in the headlights stare. I don’t know if I received this look because they had no idea what I meant/said, or if they were in such awe…

Hey man quit with the self pity and keep doing your thing. Forget about what everyone else is saying and just keep honing your craft, you're leagues ahead of any other high schoolers your age.
The essay is riddled with mispellings and tense shifts, it is horribly arrogant, and it doesn't really serve any purpose other than to whine about this guy's failure. Like another poster said, the kid will regret it later in life. Please don't comment anymore, you'll only embarass him.

Wow. I couldn't even imagine the pain it would be to work with someone like this.
You must be soft.
I think he's right — just by reading the way you write, I can tell you're too full of yourself to even fathom the concept of working well with others.
