I really dislike this kind of comment. The typical "I could do this myself in a weekend in <a low number> lines of code".
They tend to oversimplify complex problems. They fail to recognize that perhaps they haven't thought of every single twist and turn in the path. These comments believe building something is a straight line, and that because they can think it up and do some napkin math, everyone else's work is invalid.
It's easy to say "I can build x in x time" until the hard work starts and you realize reality isn't that simple.

- corytheboyd 6y agoYeah I think everyone is right here, it’s as if it’s okay for there being more than one valid solution to a problem
- kortilla 6y agoIt’s worth pointing out though that hugo has chosen to be a bag of tools to solve everyone’s problem rather than a simple one solution for all approach. Omakase is sometimes desired when you don’t have the will to put up with another new ecosystem to learn.
