Maybe hacking and front-end dev are very different skillsets, and being gifted at one does not automatically make you even competent at the other.

Agreed. Guess he's dipping into the social engineering aspect of hacking by getting actual FE devs to do the work for him.

The reason so many coders think coding bootcamps are viable and a CS degree is not a good fit or not useful for a dev is because they are all javascript plumbers and haven't seen good code in their life.

If plumbing was done with the same skill level, talent, and rigor as most websites, your average bathroom would look like the pipes screensaver.
