Hey Hacker News!

I owe so much to this community, it was a great source of learning when I was a teenage hacker myself.

Winning HackNow, a 5k EUR prize for teenage hackers, changed my life at age 15. Just having someone believe in you changes the course of things so much.

There's never been a better time to be a teenage hacker. At the same time, it can be very difficult if living in a place where you aren't understood. During school I got routinely bullied and even told by teachers themselves that I would go nowhere, let alone be able to make software.

Today more than $30bn of cryptoassets are governed by software I built — aragon.org

Now that I can, I want to give back. If you are a teenage hacker, go apply! And if you know some teenage hacker that could benefit from this, please direct them my way :D

Thanks!
