... for $1,000 do you want it to scale as well or do you just want something faked that'll work for 1 concurrent user? Do you need full reporting and analytics? Load testing? Unit tests? etc.? Ridiculous.

So the lack of consideration for the load testing was the part of that post that stood out to you?
You almost make it sound as if it could be done if you didn't care about scalability and "nice to haves". Make me the site he described, and have it work for only 1 user, even half the time, and I'll give you $1000 gladly.

For a handful of users you can proxy basically the entire site and reduce your code to a userscript and maybe some database callbacks.

I could do that, please specify where you are going to click and what you'd expect to see. It will work every time but only for those exact steps! Scalability could be done but will cost you extra!
