Yes, ok, he is 18, that's true, so my post is probably a bit harsh. But still, if he keeps that attitude he'll be 30 or 40 and use Django in a time where everyone has moved on to new stuff(tm).

Age isn't the only issue. He is surrounded by other teenagers and probably has no peers to help guide him in real life.
I think he's the kind of young developer that when he moves on to university or the workplace he'll rapidly broaden his skills.
I am totally confused how this comment is even relevant. You have literally no basis for it, and it is not even remotely true.
I am basing it on the influence a person's environment has on them. At the workplace or university, a person is more likely to encounter influential peers and mentors.
Telling me a developer is likely to get the same kind of experience working bit jobs as a contractor in high school as they are either doing the same while pursing a CS degree, or working in a development team is preposterous.
Edit: I just realised you're the OP. Add "gaining some maturity" to the things you'll get from the above.
