#3Let's face it, not all types of coding are hard.

#4this is all good and fine, but, i would like to see the quality of that code and how much extra time it added to refactor, test and clean up to their developers?

#5"Company Muse’s database is in Python with displays in HTML, CSS and JavaScript."
Better than the average tech article, I guess, but still incorrect.

#6Seems like the "Learn to Code in 10 Days" books have finally got their charm right.

Perhaps they are using http://gadfly.sourceforge.net/ (Gadfly is a simple relational database system implemented in Python)? :D

#8Congratulations to her for learning the basics, but I find it annoying that this article seems to consider "knowing how to code" as a binary variable, either you know it or you don't. What she really did is learn to add a basic website feature in Python, which is cool but not comparable to a lot of other real "coding" going on out there.

The "feature" is a simple crud application for job postings on their corporate website. How much re-factoring and testing is necessary?
I doubt the code would need to be re-used in their main product, and why would you need anything more then user testing?
I doubt the co-founder is now prancing around talking about how coding is easy. She spent 36 hours developing a simplistic feature that would take an experienced developer less then a day.

#10I wonder how the co-founder got her story on mashable.
