I thought the post was a sarcastic/joke submission, but after reading the comments I’m confused. I mean sure nice the idea is cool and I’m sure it’ll work better soon, but right now it’s hilariously bad. And we’re talking about a really simple operation.

There seems to be a trend in HN in general I’ve noticed of “it’s cool to be optimistic” and I don’t really like it. I mean sure I’m optimistic when it comes to human beings around me but when discussing technology and people who are out there to make money (or not) I don’t feel the need to be overly optimistic. Plus, competition is the very foundation of innovation and harsh honest feedback is a very important piece of the puzzle.
