I have no idea what's up with all the hate in this thread. Code is both a means to and end and an end in itself. Hacker News attracts people of each perspectives, and also some people like me who share both perspectives. Can't we all just get along AND give this guy some credit for a massively resourceful accomplishment, and a nice contribution to the global economy?
