Wow. honestly I have thought of this idea but I didnt take it seriously. I didnt know someone has a courage and time to implement this. Cheers to Katharine! Hope to hear more from this innovative idea.

i apologies if anybody thought i meant that young people work faster than older people,i meant that as human beings when you are young you learn faster,thats it.

i have all the respect to people with more experience and i always like to learn from people that are smarter than me and have more experience.

@Uriel: I was a teen too… and I was stupid in my teen years, hahaha. The advantage of your generation, is the access to information (right use of Internet, of course). When I was a teen, Internet was a dream not reallity. When BASIC and COBOL are the only languages capable to run in your MSX, tutorial are made on paper, and posibilities are too bad :(
Congratulations to you and Kath, there are smart teens too.
Cheers.

@Uriel: Hmmm. While I agree that age doesn’t make a difference in being able to develop an application, I don’t agree that young people get things done faster. I’ve worked with plenty of “young” developers (in their early 20′s) that were slow and sloppy. Your generalization of performance based on age is way off base.

i am 18 and already worked for a company(as a web developer) for 2 years,i start working when i was 15 in tripcart.com,too bad i need to go to the army(i live in Israel).

the age doesn`t matter,it is the skills that matter,and young people get things faster,it is the same as a kid can learn a language(a natural one) very fast compared to a older person.

The thing is, how a 15 year old girl/boy can develop an app for a service that it’s supposed not allowed to under 18?

Someone built what’s essentially a business app for fun? That’s impressive indeed!

i like your comment on the last blog entry:

NOTE: It is highly unlikely this will work in IE6, and it may not work in IE7 either. However, Iâ€™m too tired to chase down browsers that donâ€™t deserve to exist.

this is bad ass. this can take a team of programmer to code. 15 year old girl? too bad she’s not old enough to be hired yet.

Hey, I’m 15! And I’m real too, for that matter.

Can’t prove it without scanning a passport or something (which would be a bad idea on several levels, and I don’t have it (or a scanner) to hand anyway), but I’m sure there are enough dumb/depressive rants about school/friends/TSL/whatever on my blog to prove it. Or you could just note the horrible quality of my code. *cough*

15-year-old girl is not necessarily equal to stupid, however. (I know what the X in Ajax stands for! >.>) That said, thanks for the comments. :)

Now I just need a server that has enough RAM to run the thing properly. Fixing the server-side memory leak would probably help too….

Wow, 15 years old.
