This point is quite nitpicky, no? The sentence you quoted could have been removed from the article and the article would have largely been unchanged - my point being it seems dubious to critique an article for a tangential point in the introduction which has nothing to do with the premise of the article.
I think what it really is, is some people just like to complain about "web guys" every opportunity they get. And while your criticism may have been perfectly valid, it is entirely irrelevant to this article.
- gaius 12y agoNot at all; the structure of the piece is, these are all the impressive things I've done, so you should listen to my ideas. It would have been a stronger piece of writing if he'd just jumped straight in. Or, actually had done some impressive engineering. There's a bit of ageism there too. Über's yield management code could probably have been written by one grey haired guy from United Airlines or Marriott. Instead they got a whole bunch of twenty something's who think they're doing "data science".
