#2This is great, I think you should add a single-player mode though much like GoogleFeud.

#3It would be nice to have a button to see answers instead of just hammering at guesses.
Re: Show HN: Hacker Feud
#4this is awesome, needs a timer though. But I guess I know what our team is doing during our daily 15 min non work meetup

#6So, what's the "most hated thing about programming?" I guessed and guessed and couldn't get it.
Deadlines? Users? Management? No documentation? Having to write documentation? Having to write unit tests? Debugging? Licensing? Having to reinvent the wheel since the good stuff is closed-source? Being forced to do Agile/Scrum/Kanban? ... aargh!

"Whiteboarding, naming things, stand-ups, OBOE (?), cache invalidation, and Jira" according to [1].
I don't think these questions are very fun.

#8An interesting twist would be to allow for an opt-in that collects guesses and uses that to source ranking.

I also couldn't even figure out dead programming languages, for a long time not even a single answer. My first correct guess was Lisp after trying Python2, ALGOL, BASIC, QBASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, and probably more, which I thought were all perfectly good guesses (even if I know FORTRAN and COBOL are still in active use and Python2 is still maintained by distributions). Turns out the answers are perfectly alive languages. Ruby? PHP?! I guess it's meant as a joke? Great demo, I could have spent that time better.

#10Can't seem to name a dead programming language after naming some very dead ones. Broken? Just hearing the "bzz" incorrect answer sound over and over.
