    > So the obvious model of a program run with this funding scheme acts like a hip and cool job.

    The kind of jobs where you have to install spyware to track how long you were typing are the lamest. Not the coolest.

    > To maximize efficiency in running programs, every Hack Club program gets $8.5 per hour to spend on prizes

    That is your problem. The funding organisation has braindead funding rules which does not match with how you can run a succesfull software jam.

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

    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.
