Hack Club noticed these projects and thought I would be well suited to run an event. This was my reaction, I wanted to make something that could encourage the same competition as well the feedback I get from places like HN and appreciate well made projects. Hack Club does a good job at throwing money at people who make projects, but a iffy job at rewarding hard work. I wanted to change that. Radish Jam <https://radish.hackclub.com/> was my reaction to that, and this blog post goes through my thought processes in logistics. How something similar could be run again either by another Hack Clubber or an adult looking to run something for similar for adults :)

Is there some weird SEO superstition that being a child prodigy helps HN posts
Lots of other "I'm 15" (or 16, 17, 18) HN posts are pretty obviously spam or AI slop. Im' 65, and I'm immediately suspicious and biased against such titles.

I've taken that bit out of the title now though - it's enough (and completely fine) to mention it in the text.
