This is pretty unfair. They just want to get it out there earlier than later, so that the community can help with a few of the less glamorous parts of the app. I guarantee they've been spending most of their time just wiring things up and making the interface look pretty (the fun stuff), and now are tapping into the OSS community to help take care of the security details. I completely sympathize with this strategy, and they explicitly said it was far from secure or complete.

It's this kind of code bashing that makes it difficult and intimidating for newbies to break into development. Think twice before you lambast younger, less experienced programmers on the internet. What a shame.
