damn a bunch of guys making £100k a year scrapped their project cause you couldn't help them anymore?

nothing i have ever done has ever been anywhere near as good as that. my entire life pales in comparison.

150 hours? Thats like three weeks worth of work. Three. Weeks. Even less if you are a of a higher position within the company.

I guess at 17 that sounds like an achievement. One of my housemates is currently developing PHP, C++ and about 20 other computer languages for his full time job, he's been doing that for about seven years. So from my perspective, it's a little laughable.

worked.  the entire project was on me.  the project was actually some indian guy's and he was "working" on it for like 2-3 months.  i show up for a month, make a ton of progress, then i leave.  indian guy gets fired a month later.  so yes, i was responsible for the project.  nobody else in the company knew C++ (or if they did they didn't want to take on the project i was working on because they were either lazy/didn't know how).

not really dude.  it's an international company with branches in london and south africa.  i was the team, so yes, once i left they decided to ditch the project.  i was actually pretty close to finishing.  but yeah, estimates said that it would've been $50,000 to hire a consulting company to fix it.  so if i was at least able to attempt and get close of saving a company 50k, i find that a pretty big achievement

yeah, unfortunately i wasnt able to get started until around the middle of semester.  later on in the summer i had volunteering priorities that i had to take.  once school came around i really didn't have anymore time to devote to the company

20 languages?  exaggeration much?  i mean, i know C++, assembly, python, C#, java, SQL, VB.  my main experience is with the first 3, but i'm capable of any of the others.

tbh i cant even name 20 useful languages that someone would need to know.  sounds pointless
