Comment on Show HN: Lunchspire, lunch dating for hackers, made in 6h

So I suppose these "I implemented this in less than a day" headlines do not imply any kind of quality control. I'll adjust my mental model to incorporate that.

Attempt to enter an "incorrect" time like "2012-05-14 1:00PM" and see the code dump a 'native' error into your browser.

Our intention with the project was to initiate a discussion among the hackers at the hack and hopefully inspire them to keep in touch. Sorry about the lack of quality, but feel free to contribute: https://github.com/siavashg/lunchspire

The problem with those headlines on HN is that they mean to be boastful, not humble.

I totally get the point of the headlines, if they meant "... so disregard minor bugs we have left to iron out".

There's not much of a point in boasting about creating a service/script in X hours or weeks, unless you're applying for a very specific job or trying to explain how easy it is to set up a Y (e.g. PAAS, frameworks, etc.).
