Why is it so trendy these days to say that everything was built "with love"?
- vietor 12y agoIt's a way to imply that the all of the fiddly little details don't suck. Everyone's run into that library, SaaS product, or other bit of software where all of the features sound awesome, it appears to do exactly what you need ... and you'd rather debug a plugged in blender than actually use it.
- dubcanada 12y agoWould you much rather it was not built with love? I really fail to see how saying "built with love" matters at all.
- TylerE 12y agoI would kinda like a DB built with cold-heated ruthless efficiency and precision, actually.
- sandstrom 12y agoThat's a good point! Though in RethinkDB's case I'd like to make an exception. ~30,000 commits and long discussion such as this one: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/281 https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/281
- bbcbasic 12y agoIt's just a meme. Like it is also trendy to have an over-sized picture of young people working on wooden desks in an industrial-chic office taking up 70% of the screen space. Goes nicely with the Bootstrap template, Lobster font, Circular cropped photos of founders, Ping pong tables, Ruby on Rails. Etc. Etc.
