This is a weird example of something I will deem "content subject scaling". I've come to realize that we often judge content based on not the sole value of the content alone, but actually, the nature of the author who created said content. Here, we are amazed the author is 16 - if he was not an outlier in this sense, this piece would surely not be front-page worthy. Similarly, InDinero founder Jessica Mah is outstanding because of her age, but beyond that, would we really be focusing on her product so often? I have my doubts. On the opposite side of the spectrum, we sometimes view and promote content that is largely throwaway based on the author's known history.

Not to say this isn't okay and it's not worthwhile, but most of the time, these kinds of posts need to be acknowledged as what they are - not things that are really strong contributions to the HN knowledge base, but instead, curiosity impinging posts that ACTUALLY serve as mini-biographies of the people that post them and/or are featured within them - where our REAL interest lies.

So, my point - serve me up the 301 redirect to their about page, stat.
