A cute site. What it lacks in functionality it makes up for by being made by a woman. Pro-beginner-tip: Don't make social networks.

- hammad999 13y agoJust curious, why do you say don't make social networks?
- teaguy 13y agoFor the same reason I don't leave my desk, buy a prospectors pan and head to San Francisco in a wagon looking for the Gold Rush. It's very easy to look up and realize all you've done is build a ghost town.
- jh3 13y agoWell, you seem like an asshole. Pro-commenting-tip: Don't shit on people's accomplishments.
- teaguy 13y agoInstead I'll just join with you all in never-ending self-congratulatory ecstasy. Why aren't we all in Paradise?
- jh3 13y agoWhat's with the cynicism? Jennifer went from nothing to a web application using modern technologies. That's cool. I don't think she's aiming to be the end all of social networks for food.
- kovalkos 13y agoYou don't have to join "self-congratulatory ecstasy", but you also don't have to be a condescending dick. Instead of making vague and shallow insults, you should try to politely explain what's wrong with OP's website. In your 1-sentence insult, your main grudge seems to be that the website was made by a female. Your point might have been that women's work should receive equal praise (and criticism) as men's. But instead of discussing that (possibly valid) point, your sexist remark only feeds the fire (and makes you look like a dim-witted fool). In a latter comment, your metaphor compares making social networks to gold rush. Again, possible valid point, burried behind a condescending sarcasm. We shouldn't read between the lines to understand your point of view -- either make it POLITE and CLEAR or GTFO.
- benihana 13y agoOh cute. Condescension and sexism. The only thing this comment is missing is the classic HN trope "I almost built this, but didn't, but I'm just as accomplished as the person who did cause I almost did this."
- kovalkos 13y agoIs your comment supposed to be sarcastic mockery of HN or are you being serious?
- adrianonantua 13y agoPeople, please, don't feed the trolls
- jbeja 13y agoYou are making me break my law about not saying a obscenity to anyone in HN, you been warned >.<.
- camelite 13y agoHer accomplishments stand on their own.
- mlangdon 13y agoThis guy is easily the worst. As a person who spent all his spare time the past few years to self-train his way to mere developer competency, I can genuinely say that I am continually blown away by Dewalt's accomplishments. Forget gender, she's plainly impressive, an exemplar for all the autodidacts out here.
