Kids and especially teens seem to do this implicitly whenever they are doing things that they feel is advanced for their age

That's survivor bias.

No it isn't

[Levitating → Minor49er]

Of course it is. If a project doesn't state that it was made by a teenager you wouldn't know.

I never stated my age on my projects when I was younger. Neither did any of my developer friends.

The observation was on kids declaring their ages around projects that they feel are advanced for them. It is not survivorship bias and has nothing to do with that term. The term doesn't even apply to your own example anyways
