What the fuck is wrong with people, this blows.

Wow, chill down.

It sucks that people take advantage of HN's eagerness to encourage newcomers. This is toxic behavior and it must receive an appropriate response: outrage.

I liked it as well, but from his tweet ( https://twitter.com/AdamProbolsky/status/793357675996196864 ) seems he didnt make it!

Are you serious? Didn't you get help from SOMEONE on your first project. Thanks for the encouragement.

I have some encouragement for you: whatever you do, however you do it, don't do it for the praise. Do it because you enjoy doing it.

You're right. Looks like the actual development is done by CodeGophers. https://codegophers.com/ "Email us a programming task and we'll finish it in 48 hours" I would say most HN'ers (me included) thought this was done by a beginner web developer and looking for feedback from the community. And based on the comments provided, many of them are quite positive and constructive.

Frankly I'd be interested in a write-up on their experience using this service, walking us through they scoped it, solved challenges, cost etc. Part of running a business is effectively and efficiently allocating capital. Depending on their goal with this project and how much it cost, this could be an excellent approach for getting low tech MVPs built.

Look at their site: https://codegophers.com

My guess is this dude literally said "make a web form with these inputs that will produce a PDF formatted like this".

Did you write any of the code yourself? That's what people are wondering.

CodeGophers founder here.

First off, congrats to Adam for getting his idea launched and hitting the top of HN with his first project.

Adam came to us with idea, designs, domain, and coding as much as he could. We helped him finish the coding portion, explaining the changes and tools we were making to get the site ready to go. He was involved in every step and learned a lot from the process. I think most coders got some (or a lot) of help when they just start out.

CodeGophers helps people make MVP's as fast as 48 hours over email, and we get all sorts of people writing in. Some are like Adam who are just starting out learning coding, some are designers/marketers who don't know any coding at all and others are more experienced people who just don't have time to build the MVP.
