I think there's a huge difference between creating a content farm and a real product.

Maybe so, but the result is the same. What I launched went beyond a standard content farm though. I didn't use free or purchased themes, I used a self-created Wordpress theme framework I created a little while ago as the base of the sites but each design was built from scratch in Photoshop. The content aggregation and rewriting plugin that I wrote isn't something you can find anywhere, especially not to the point articles are rewritten from multiple sources in a way that works.

I was merely trying to make a point of developers needing to get stuff out as quick as possible. Maybe what I did was different to an app (and rightly so) but the fact I executed on an idea from start to finish and didn't get caught up on the little things or having a perfect end result is something I think every developer can take from and apply to anything they do.
