Describing some project with phrases such as "built with love" or "from the ground up" really make me cringe.

Also, when startups start the description of their generic SaaS tool with the word "beautiful".

It usually seems to mean: "The app doesn't do very much yet, so we had room for plenty of UI whitespace and 18px fonts."

I concur. Yet to see any "Built with hate" projects. Like "Built with hate in Perl!"

Perl, the choice for the self-loathing hacker

they make me cringe too , but i often question myself if feeling this way is my own fault. What is wrong with loving code or loving a little project? Do we all wanna be seen as hardcore devs that do this work cause we are forced to? I'm not attacking just a question I'd like to pop out there.

I have done some work in Java and Javascript. It was all done with hate. If there was any love there, it was for the paychecks I got at the end of each month.

Yeah this is the thing. Especially for projects built in off-time, this feels like people expressing "I code for others for money, but this I gave up my time for because it makes me happy."

It's pride in work. Nothing wrong with that.
