I think you missed the authors point. When he wrote:

It took them six months and a powerful multi-person dev team to hand-code it [...] this is why we’ve spent the past year creating a tool that opens the ability to produce these stories

He doesn't seem to be making a, "meh, StackOverflow - I could write that in a weekend" kind of comment. Instead he's saying they made a tool that helps automate the process.

Not at all. I was simply using an aspect of what happened to the author to expound on something we see often but disregard.

I'm branching off from the original discussion to talk about something tangentially related but often overlooked.

It's distracting in a thread about the story.

As a counter-point I'd just like to say that I wasn't distracted or confused about where you went with your comment and I enjoyed it. Not to pass judgement on whether or not it "belongs"; just saying.
