Her blog shows her as a very curious young person who is not only meddling in programming but also in history, politics and 3d-printing :)
I had to laugh hard when reading "Pour construire sur 3DSlash, il suffit de savoir jouer à Minecraft." [~ For constructing in 3DSlash, it's sufficient to know how to play Minecraft.] That's the right attitude!
This might very well not be what you meant, but kids (at their best) are inspired, curious and surprisingly determined in large part because they don't understand the concept of "hard work". They build their own stories in their heads which makes the process itself rewarding and challenges irrelevant. Which is what makes it so great. Some other young bloggers:
Let's keep the hate off of HN. We get that you are salty. We're all salty. Give us the benefit of not being so predictable about it. Spread hate on a thread about C++ pointers. Ask us why we don't use Rust. Literally anything.
Now dead comments; the community is generally interested in positive voices and even criticism of the most recent programming language is expected to trend towards constructive.
Not sure what hate you're referring to, but even though this is a Facebook link it seems to be absent the nagging sign-in pop-overs we see on other FB posts. This is a good thing.
Looking further, it seems these new 'Facebook Notes' pages behave like regular web pages, without trying to annoy non-FB visitors into signing up. That is good and important when the subject matter is kids. Their stories should be allowed to exist without some tech giant agenda riding the coat tales of viral activity.
People aren't salty but lets remember that last time the HN/Reddit/Tumblr/Huffpo hive mind promoted a child it was a kid who took apart a radio shack clock, threw its contents in a briefcase, and tried his best to scare his teacher so his dad can get on the news. Suddenly, everyone here was uncritically praising this charlatan and falling for a stupid political ploy.
People should be skeptical of wonder-child claims. Thankfully, this kid looks like the real deal.
This is great. This has a chance of inspiring the next generation of people to eschew traditional routes. I'm sure she'll be super-successful/inspiring in whatever she does, even if she doesn't fulfill her original objectives (similarly with many of the Thiel Fellows).

Because people used Spirograph to make similar patterns. And the cog wheels of her device are reminiscent of the cogs used to make Spirograph patterns also.
