I'm hoping this is a perhaps poorly-considered callback to one of HN's most famous comments, which described StackExchange as "simple software... that can be thrown together in a weekend."

If this comment is actually serious, please try executing on it and report back on how it goes.

I was one of the developers of a product in the same space, consider myself a pretty good programmer, and can assure you you wouldn't build basecamp (our any competing product) in a week or two. There's so much that goes into a product like this, that reading a comment such as yours can even be considered offensive. It is, at the very least, quite naive.

Ah, yes, this always comes up from folks who never tried to create it themselves...

How long before this comment shows up on @shit_hn_says?

I'll check back in a couple of weeks to see where you're at...

Let's hack it! make one open source.

Totally agree
