Consider the ridiculous downside of someone being 12, posting their program to HN, and meeting with this as a first comment. How awful.

I disagree. I'd say having all of the work in 1 commit makes it more likely to have been created by a young programmer. What impresses me the most, and makes me skeptical, is the good code style. I know at least 3 12 year old programmers who might be able to do this, but none of them have this diligence for style.

The program is short enough and I was enough of a nerd at this age to be interested in doing something like this. I just focused on making poorly-designed computer games instead.

Everything being in 1 commit seems perfectly normal for this situation.

He likely wrote the entire thing without Git (because he's the only one working on it), then decided to push it to BitBucket when he wanted to publish it.

So you're saying it's more likely that this 12-year old would have written this thing if he had split everything nicely into small readable commits?

That makes absolutely no sense

I'd bet he wrote it locally and then committed it.

you'd be surprised how many personal projects have only one commit.
