Where you see a taunting smiley, I see a developer who's just happy to have made a breakthrough on his project.

His abhorrent project. This is not something to be proud of. Being a professional means answering to a set of ethics before acting like a kindergartner who's proud of his macaroni picture.

Makes me think about the guys who built the atomic bomb -- people doing [potentially] amoral things because they find the problems they're solving more fascinating than the practical implications.
