Of all the ideas in the world to implement how could you possibly come up with this? And to the submitter, I guess this is a Meteor app (and hopefully that's where the connection starts and ends), but this suggests really low empathic intelligence on your part too. Just shameful!

You're jumping to conclusions and it's insulting. I posted it because I thought it worthy of discussion. Here are some of the reasons:

1: It's gotten use, and you can look at the leaderboard to see where. I'm certainly not proud to see MIT at position #2, but I also wonder about the 99 jackets donated by students at a Roman Catholic seminary.

2: I think it is interesting to trace the author's moral development, which you can do at http://hobojacket.tk/story.html

3: Previously in history, an explicit purpose of the educational system was to develop an individual's moral sense. On HN many commenters seem to think of school as a place to learn technical skills, or as something to be skipped altogether if one is ambitious. Don't you think it's worthwhile to discuss the consequences of that attitude?
