> Basically what I'm saying is it feels very much like a rails app you could build in a weekend. Downvoted solely for that comment. Honestly, I feel like it's so tiresome and lazy with the "X could be built in a weekend" or "Why does Y need so many employees?" comments. Sure, I've worked at companies that were easily overstaffed, and it's not hard to find some slack in any sizable company. But these kinds of comments pretty universally are completely lacking in insight of what it takes to operate and run a sizable business. It's basically just selfishness that people only comment on the limited slice (usually of programming work) that they understand.

To you and everyone else saying "you can't reproduce the business in a weekend" or that I'm overlooking that side of things, I specifically said "like a rails apps you could build in a weekend" because I was talking about... THE APP. I never did and never would claim that the user base, traction, brand recognition, or label deals could be replaced in a weekend. I was only speaking about the simplistic and minimal set of features for the bandcamp.com product. My words made it pretty clear what I was talking about so it feels like people choosing to view it as me saying the business side is more complex are just looking for an argument or to "tell me how it is". The logic here makes no sense. I DID NOT mention the business yet you people are giving me shit saying the business can't be replicated in a weekend. Where the F did I say that it could?! I SPECIFICALLY talked about an APP, and you're ignoring that key word and fighting me over something I never claimed.
