I've had a couple of my sites hit by Hacker News before, it's not that much traffic.

But I am perhaps a bit biased, I already think Meteor is a joke of a product.

Most big things start out as jokes. (I don't hold an opinion one way or the other.) But you have to admit they are doing something semi-interesting.

I prefer to be interested in things that are ACTUALLY interesting; think Google's Spanner, SpaceX, etc, developed by neckbeards who know what they are doing.

Not some silly NodeJS/MongoDB API.

It's generally unkind to come in and trash other peoples' work, especially when it's work that is something designed to help make others' jobs easier and is being open sourced.

The site you're looking at isn't Meteor itself, it's a site that happens to use Meteor. And, as it turns out, it was being run in development mode.
