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

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.

As an advertising statement -- "built with love" -- means nothing to me as a consumer. If there is nothing more interesting to tell me in that space, then it suggests there is some kind of lack in the product.

All I care about is the value, quality and cost of the product.

It is very cringey though. It's no real indication of how much love went into it, and just comes across as an attempt to stand out and appeal to hipster impulses.

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

"This project was built for revenge, over a three-day sleepless marathon fueled by my hatred."

"Cool, so what does it do?"

"It prints Jacob is a loser nerd in large ASCII art characters, over and over again."

"..."

"The message is hard-coded for now, but I'm planning to make it customizable next time I get angry at someone."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

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 :)

I've been there, and I feel your pain. My boss wanted to use it as the source of truth for one of our monitoring systems. It was... ugly.

Can you please change the link to the English version? https://github.com/shiyanhui/Young/blob/master/README_EN.md BTW: These colours remind me of something, I can't put my finger on it :)

Crayola? Primary colors? Ebay's logo?

Perhaps the logo for Super Mario Bros...

Hehe!

The polite term is "enterprise"
