What's up with these "I made ___ in ___ hours/days" posts
jacquesm: I think some of the posts are clearly in jest, to propagate the meme but with a wink saying 'you don't really believe this do you'.Then there are those that want to promote a platform or a technology showing how rapid they could develop a toy website, basically a functioning prototype. Most of those would fall apart under the first serious load (and some do right after posting here), but still, you have to hand it to the people that can push themselves like that just to have something to show off their favourite piece of kit.Then there are those that really believe this is the way to do it, to whip out some site in 24 hours and to call it a 'start-up' instead of a one night project.Usually the latter two fail as fast as they come, but every now and then one of them shows staying power.pingwire.com comes to mind, after several iterations it now looks a lot better than the first announcement, and there are plenty of others.
