Sorry, but I'm definitely 14! I created a separate profile because I didn't want anybody (i.e. Amazon) to be able to trace it back to my main account and find my full name. I usually do more web development in my spare time, so this was a completely different experience for me, hence the misunderstanding with hashing passwords. Also, I didn't write this from scratch, as you'll see on the GitHub page it's a fork of a project to jailbreak kindles, but thanks for the positive feedback!

Congratulations, you've been initiated into the long and cranky tradition of "no way was that the work of an X-year-old" on the internet!
You're awesome. I did stuff like this when I was 14, but didn't have the skill to write about it (and still don't) due to autism. But on the other paw, your article seems really well-written!
do you mind explaining why your writing skills are limited by your autism? Sorry if I am misreading you.
It's because I have to express concepts in a certain way, and it doesn't usually flow very naturally. It usually sounds really serious or insensitive. When writing articles, my perceived tone is just really boring, because of the way I have to explain things. My words come out weird and the "sorry, I'm a native speaker" is real.
