I know the author of the piece in question, Chris. He's a writer with no technical background whatsoever, and his job is to write whimsical jocular short pieces for Slate. This isn't a serious critique of any sort. There's nothing to see here.
- mechanical_fish 17y agoYeah, because making obscure nerds feel miserable by ignorantly misrepresenting their work in public is always good for a laugh. I mean, it's not as if this is one of the very few times that my non-nerd relatives have ever seen the word "Drupal" in print, or anything. I'm sure they will all get the joke. And, if not, I'm sure the next few thousand-word popular-press articles on CMSes will clear up any misconceptions that may have arisen.
