I think Jennifer is truly inspiring. I wish I thought anyone over 10 years old using words like yum was still cute though. I'm sorry, but I sat next to a group of extremely privileged twenty something people last night-- and had to listen to how yummy their food was, and oh the picture taking. I get it, you enjoy your food. Just stop describing it in public; some of us just want to eat. And yes--I do think of all the starving kids whenever I hear yummy out of privileged people mouths. I'll probally get banned for this post, but it just might be the best thing anyone has ever done to me.

Don't worry, I've seen much, much harsher critiques of things on HN. I doubt you'll get banned. I'll have to keep in mind that the name YumHacker was so offensive to someone they were compelled to write an off topic rant about it, though.

  I've seen much, much harsher critiques of things on HN. As have we all. It makes me cringe thinking about it! I doubt you'll get banned. Your intuition is better than most; that comment has been punished enough. Things go much better when the community corrects things itself without moderators intervening. My goal is never to have to do anything. Edit: My long-term goal. :)

Jennifer, ignore the haters. The name is every bit as yummy as artisinally crafted scones, freshly unpacked macbook airs, and the carefree days of a well-fed youth.

What does this have to do with the discussion about Jennifer learning to write software and doing the 180 sites in 180 days? This sort of commentary is best left on Reddit.
