It wouldn't need to exist if so many other people in our communities didn't ask "why did you build this?" with implied disdain. Just count how many times you see a link to that horrible X_CD "Standards" webcomic where the author's self-insert is always the Smartest Guy In The Room because he knows better than to ever create anything.

Interesting, I guess I've never seen anyone upset about xkcd before.

I'm not sure if "author" here refers to the HN comment author or Munroe, but the latter is hard for me to view as "knowing better than to ever create anything", given authoring 1000+ webcomics and all.
