You're justifying code that doesn't work on the grounds that it was quick to write. (Facetious comment: if the website doesn't have to work, I can write the whole thing in under a minute. Someone wrote a HN clone on these lines a few weeks back, but I don't know how long it took them.) Given that the HN code was written by an increasingly busy man in his spare time, his use of an unreliable but quick-to-write implementation technique may be an acceptable trade-off. But it doesn't make the design any less crazy. |

No, the code works fine for an acceptable period of time, it doesn't just not work.
