Let's keep the hate off of HN. We get that you are salty. We're all salty. Give us the benefit of not being so predictable about it. Spread hate on a thread about C++ pointers. Ask us why we don't use Rust. Literally anything.

Here's a link to her personal blog: http://corot.top (it's mostly in French as far as I can tell)

Because people used Spirograph to make similar patterns. And the cog wheels of her device are reminiscent of the cogs used to make Spirograph patterns also.

Spirograph is an excellent way to introduce kids to the idea of relatively prime pairs.

Because the most awesome Spirograph patterns come from the relatively prime pairs of gears.

Her blog shows her as a very curious young person who is not only meddling in programming but also in history, politics and 3d-printing :)

I had to laugh hard when reading "Pour construire sur 3DSlash, il suffit de savoir jouer à Minecraft." [~ For constructing in 3DSlash, it's sufficient to know how to play Minecraft.] That's the right attitude!
