A programmer duplicated ArriveCan in two days

Daniel may have produced some fantastic code over a holiday, maybe even thought about things outside of the code itself, like deployment, etc, and it proves that an MVP can be made quickly if you’re using someone else’s answers as a starting point.

But only a clickbait title, a non-technical PR team, or a clueless pointy-haired manager would call hackathon code, feature or function or whatever, let alone a full-blown “clone app,” production-worthy.

(It still happens way more often than you might think.)
