> Well, you’re 16. It shows.
I don’t think it would have shown if they hadn’t mentioned their age and chosen this as their subject matter. There’s a lot of people on Hacker News that are teenagers, they just never disclose themselves as one.

Not really. You can try hard to look good in a college application but not really be into the things that you work hard to do well in.
