Somebody's confusing design ability with coding ability.

  Still, that's a really terrible user interface. Engineers at least can create something of the quality of GNU's site or the Linux Kernel site. And the markup on those early Zuckerman pages has mix-matched casing. Looks like a copy paste job.

    So what. Copy-paste and modification is a totally cool way to learn and do. That's the reason why web technologies spread so fast: it was easy to see how a web page was done, copy it and do some modifications.

    Dude, he was 16. We live in an age of record. Thanks in no small part to Zuckerberg himself, the next great wave of software engineers and entrepreneurs who we admire, respect, and study will have surely done something stupid on the internet. Or maybe they made an ugly website. People learning make mistakes. They produce shoddy work. But doing work is how you learn. We should encourage aspiring hackers to launch their careers early, collect feedback, and iterate on themselves... even if that means someone is going to mock them for trying.

      Right, I wasn't trying to take anything away from the guy. He's obviously a very successful individual. I know I've created some terrible stuff.
