Ask HN: I'm a young developer. What should I do next?

The case study really isn't compelling at all, it just doesn't look like a good site.

I doubt people will care much about your age and or just don't mention it.

Side note - "Design" is becoming more and more obsolete as the use of design frameworks becomes more ubiquitous. I started out doing design from scratch but now I just search for the best framework to use and cut my development time into a fraction.

Check out Twitter Bootstrap and Foundation (Zurb)

I mentioned my age simply to help people understand my position. I generally find clients by meeting them personally so they do normally know my age.

I understand my design isn't great and I will try to focus on my development work. I have used both those design frameworks in the past.

That's visual design you're thinking about. Real design is hard because real design is UX design. It means solving problems. It requires empathy. I suggest googling terms like "information architecture", "content strategy", "affordance" etc.
