What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI think a JSON parser is not a good example though — takes longer than a few hours / an afternoon, to write a JSON parser, add tests, fix bugs, corner cases. More like a week, or weeks, ...
... Look, a tiny json parser — Not an afternoon project: https://github.com/rafagafe/tiny-json/blob/master/tiny-json....
And a question about small JSON parsers — didn't see any afternoon projects among the answers:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6061172/smallest-less-in...
I suppose a JSON parser was just an example. Made the whole answer sound weird to me though :- ) when the blog is about afternoon-projects and then a reply is about a week(s), could be month(s), long project.
