Then why didn't they? Oh snap, maybe because they can't code?
- jrockway 16y agoYeah, but code is the easy part. You can just get a bunch of dudes in India and China to do it for you in one week for $20, right?
- strlen 16y agoMost definitely! If it's easy to use, implies it must be easy to implement. Serious note: I think that it's beautiful that an untrained technical person thinks Amazon or Facebook could be built in a weekend. That's a testimony to the excellence of their respective UI teams. Perhaps if your consumer internet site doesn't look like it could be built in a weekend, it's too complex to use.
- jrockway 16y agoI always thought it was more from taking too high-level a view. Amazon is a site where you click a picture of a thing, and they send it to you for a fee. Facebook is a site where you can see a list of your friends and send them messages. Simple! Except that in real life, there are a few more details to work out.
