cs101··on Show HN: So Long, and Thanks for All the Veggies
Wow! How can a common vegetable (pomodoro) and a common productivity technique (timeboxing) be combined together and sold as a new product? Who really falls for this "Pomodoro Technique" hype?

I am surprised that Francesco Cirillo has been able to create a business out of this. A very disingenuous business in my opinion.

A screenshot or a demo page would be nice.

Also, was Node.js necessary for this project? I thought Conway's Game of Life could be implemented entirely as client-side JavaScript.

Was the increased productivity due to Awk or was it due to Perl?
