I hate it when I hear people who have probably never coded in their lives, saying how easy it is to build something. From the outside everything seems like a piece of cake, but software engineering is more than that. It takes time, concentration, dedication and creativity.
You do get sarcasm right?
One thing they forgot to add: Be 15 years old so that it makes a good sensationalist medoa story. A 40 year old doing this wouldn't get anywhere even if he lined up the Ocean's Eleven cast on his board! Terrible article by the way.
Ha, makes sense.
This isn't such a far fetched idea.
Whether you could do it a second time is harder to say.
While I know this is meant to sarcastic I think it is actually not far fetched.

I believe, in this case, the author was using a rather effective technique typically called "sarcasm."
Best part of the article: Step 5. Get press. With your funding, buy off a few reporters to talk about your app. (Actually, just kidding. This is unethical to most journalists and will only probably work with TechCrunch.)
