OP, how do you manage to do so many things at once? What is your productivity secret? Also, how do you prefer to learn? By hands on, or by reading books?
To be perfectly honest, as helpful as it is to read literature in a particular field: for me, it is and was definitely hands-on. I probably learned 99% of what I know in development based on the experience of just being able to live with code.

Pedantic, but unlike pregant you can qualify unique. Unlike pregnant which is a binary (are/are not), unique means the quality of differing from other things, and this is a continium. Even the dictionary, in one of the terms for unique, gives a meaning that's not "unique" in a binary way at all: "not typical; unusual". If it wasn't a continuum we wouldn't have expressions like "totally unique" or the "most unique" us…

Pedantic but the misuse of "unique" is semantics not grammar.

I thought we'd all learned to stop worrying and love descriptivism?
I don't use "unique" that way. Do you want "unique" to be just a redundant synonym for "different" or not?

Nope on both counts. It's a common idiom to say that someone is 'very pregnant'.
That simply means they have a very large baby bump. It does not mean that they are "more pregnant" than a lady with a smaller bump. Pregnancy is a binary state.
Good Job! But you should remove "I'm a 14 year-old dev", because I am sure you want to be judged on the "bot" not yourself. Your gender or your age should not have impact on what you do!
In that respect it's warranted, and this bot made that much more awesome because I can compare. At 14 I'd barely managed typing on a keyboard
Amazing job building this. I'm twice your age and have been programming since I was 11 too and am just blown away. Just FYI, looks like you might have an infinite loop: 999+ TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'document.getElementById("finishloading").style')
That bug, along with others, have been fixed. (Also thanks to user "danieloaks" who contributed some code here on Hacker News.)
Whenever I find one of these AI chat programs, I like to start by typing in "this sentence is false", and yours gave me the most unique response (after quite some time calculating): "It seems to be, and it's actually a string of words satisfying the grammatical rules of a language." On a side note - I work in tech education, and I have to say that the software projects that motivated people of your age are creating i…
