Benefit of the doubt: his last post was approx. 2 years ago, so it's possible to have two kids in the meantime and this is the first time since becoming a father to get an MVP out of the door.

Quite the accomplishment, I know how it feels...

Yes, thank you for your comment. I feel guilty saying it is my first MVP, but it truly is, as a father. I wish HN allowed changing post titles so I can replace "first" by just an MVP

Ah, so the accurate title is: I have finally finished my first MVP as a father with 2 kids and a 9-5 job

I can't see how that's relevant to him asking for feedback, you're being needlessly pedantic.

My motivation to ask is:

1: I really want to understand it. Why does someone say they "finally finished their first MVP" when they already have been doing Show HNs for similar projects for years?

2: I am a bit afraid that we will see an arms race of emotionalized Show HNs if it turns out that these get more upvotes. I wonder if this site would have gotten as many upvotes if it left out the "9-5 job and 2 kids" part. I think it is worth asking if we should allow sensationalized / emotionalized titles for Show HNs at all.

FWIW, I had the same reaction. The post title does literally nothing to describe the actual project, only some tangentially related circumstances under which the thing was developed.

This is true. Previous projects are dead and were hobby projects just for fun. I see also some of my previously used domain names are being reused by someone else.
