[edit] Ryan Pockett

Pretty sure this is a hoax. Virtually no Google hits for the name (if you're "the hottest new developer", the odds are that you're going to clock a fair few hits). Also, claims like "better known as a computer analyst/expert" and "the first teenager in the world to create bi-lingual software which can adapt to 'Pacman', 'Tetris' and 'Ninja' control software" ring soundly of nonsense. It is irrelevant if the "software took Pockett over 4 months to create" as virtually any non-trivial software development project is going to take many months if not years. If that's notable, then I deserve a Wikipedia page along with a vast number of other people. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 11:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong delete, obvious hoax. You'd think a "hot developer" would return more Google hits... Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 12:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
