Conversely to the article, I am certainly not smart enough to tell someone how to build their own Facebook or Pinterest. That requires more than programming skill; a combination of marketing, business sense, and user experience. I'm a backend/appsec guy. No way in hell would I do that. It would be arrogant and end in disaster. That's what teams are for.
