Not to be negative or anything but a look through the source and it shows some interesting stuff (more info in the reddit post also created and posted by this never used account) but then whois shows that the website is setup to use cloudflare.
Maybe the grandchild is helping her but my mind goes straight to think that it's just a masked self-promotion. Just putting it out there.
About the game: somewhat fun but if you don't know the word, that's it. No really any way to figure out in a rewarding way.
I don’t understand why any of that indicates that a 70 year old couldn’t have created this, unless you think 70 year old people aren’t capable of doing that.
The age isn't really the inconsistency, it's the "only just learning to code" aspect. My first ever webpage was certainly not hosted behind Cloudflare. (I'd also expect beginner resources to point to something like GitHub Pages instead)
I guessed many words I didn't know on Wordle (not a native English speaker), if you are able to reduce enough the letters search space there's going to be only a few options that e.g. make sense phonetically.
I actually misread the original comment but I guess my question is still somewhat relevant so leaving it as it is. You're right that it's easier to just bruteforce it in Wordle.
This was my problem too. If there was a scoring system, it might make sense to buy letters against your score, to help you forward once you're stuck. I got stuck. What the heck goes between Volatile and Vole?
Pasting the <script src one-liner code for page analytics was one of the first things I did when coding my first angelfire website as a 10 year old. I loved seeing the graph of how many daily visitors I got.
I'm gonna bet that my mom has had a website since before you were born*. She was taking fortran classes in the 60s. Your ageist attitude is pretty gross. So what if she had help? Another bet, you can't program without the help of online resources and/or a chatbot either.
* given the dates on your resume, there's a very good chance I'm correct in this
you are being just as rude as the other person, if not more, buddy. There is a much better and constructive way to make this point. Also, the title says that she is "learning to code" so its not unreasonable to say that she probably isn't handling the website stuff... Also, the commenter is making a conjecture about the veracity of OP, not the mother per se.
I am old myself. It is not ability to learn with age that is suspicious it is wanting to share it like this and it would be a clever marketing move.
I will learn new things until the day I can't. I am currently learning the Stan language but I am not going to write a medium article "What happens when an old man attempts to learn Stan?"
I bet you could write that article, regardless of programming experience, and tell a compelling story. Different people share different parts of themselves online, and I think that's okay.
I'd characterize the original comment as a cynical accusation of shilling, so I'm quite curious what you read as "spite" in mine. Must I point out that I, too, use external resources whilst programming?
It's subjective how rewarding it is but you can definitely guess the word if you know, well, words, by doing a binary search and narrowing down the first letters. I have an uneasy relationship with puzzles and I'm not a native speaker but this to me is about as fun and about as infuriating as Wordle or Semantle (try the latter if you didn't already!)
