Isn't the fact that they weren't coders what made MySpace and others

If everyone had to actually learn a language first many ideas would

Unfortunately I can see that many would look at something like that as
the latest salvo in the years long feud between Adobe/Macromedia and
New Atlanta.
But I agree. The author didn't know programming. Perhaps someone
should set her straight.

Jeff,
We have clear statements from myspace that the problem was more their
code and coding practice than anything else. Ask people who were at
