Running a software jam in a world of slop(foxmoss.com)
27 points by foxmoss 9 hours ago | 6 comments

I'm Fox. I'm a 16 year old, and I've been working mostly working on making projects I thought were cool & would do well on the internet over the last year. You can check out my other blog posts if you want to get a sense of what that means: <https://foxmoss.com/blog>.

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 :)

The website https://radish.hackclub.com reliably crashes my Safari so repeatedly that I simply cannot view the website whatsoever.

Interesting… do they manage to execute code when it crashes? :D

Please make your substantive points without being aggressive and without calling names.

Why editorialize the link title with "I'm 15 and I..."?

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.

This is a perennially off topic thing that people complain about - let's not go there. When I look at https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=foxmoss I see highly technical submissions that make no mention of age.

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