hey everyone -- I'm actually one of the three developers-in-training who wrote this app. We just finished week four of Dev Bootcamp, and this was just a (admittedly stupid) project we invented to practice our abilities in html/css/javascript/sinatra/rspec/heroku. We built it in four hours late on thursday night, basically on a dare.

Also -- we love helping people! sitting down and walking someone through a problem is the best way to help them learn something and to crystalize the concept for yourself. Hell, thats basically the motto of DBC. And of course it's against the ethos of the programming community to belittle others who ask for help, since we're all going to need help at some point.

This site is just meant as a joke. I would hate it if someone actually used this on a curious and well meaning junior developer.
