Agreed. If someone's launching an MVP, I can completely understand their desire to put it out there and get feedback. Those types of posts (inviting critique) are fine in my book.
The ones that grate are the ones that say "we built this startup in a weekend."
By adding the "in a weekend" / "in 24 hours" bit, you're automatically discounting the product you've built, as an easy way to deflect criticism. If it's shaky enough that you need to preemptively deflect criticism, don't post about it. If your app is quality, then it doesn't matter if you built it in a weekend or over three years. Let it stand on its own.
To reiterate the OP, build stuff. Share it. Get feedback and criticism, and iterate it to make it better. But claiming that you made "a startup" in a weekend is both ignorant and arrogant, unless your app has scaled so quickly that we've already heard about it by the time you post it to HN.
