I'm pretty interested in this an OkC user of about 2.5 months (and as a programmer). On one hand, this feels like very blatant "cheating" of the system, and it almost feels like he's taking advantage of or misleading these women. On the other hand, perhaps he's just properly utilizing a tool at his disposal to find love. I find it hard to blame him considering the latter case. I'm tempted to think that if I had the proper skills (and time) there's a good chance I'd do the same, or at least try it to see the results firsthand. As is often the case, there's a lot of good discussion over on HN on this article.
