Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

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.

You should try working with Salesforce. That makes JavaScript seem like a pleasant experience.

Perl, the choice for the self-loathing hacker

I like working with Perl. Admittedly its easy to shoot yourself in the foot with it.

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

What gets me is the like that gives it more credibility to be trendy.

But hey, at least it was built with LOVE!

At the last company I worked for, we used Salesforce as our database and source of truth in one of our web applications. It was exactly as horrible as it sounds :)

As someone who doesn't know or use python but just knows about it, I thought love was some kind of a python framework as frameworks tend to have weird names.

Please don't pay attention to the negativity. It is a nice project. I really like the GUI. Oh and its a tornado based project, which is cool. The logo is really cool also. What font did you use for it?

I too would love to know the logo font.

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 thought it was cringey because the phrase is overused[1] and sort of a joke by now? I would never cringe at someone loving to program for fun.

[1] I've seen too many website footers that say "Handcrafted with love in (San Francisco | New York | Portland)".
