You can become a web developer without pretty much any knowledge(how computer is built, how it all works etc.), so it's not a big suprise here that there are many badly designed and/or coded websites.

Flash websites or one page JavaScript clusterf*#ks come from developers, who want to achieve cheap cool looking effect in order to cover the lack of real value in their product. They also want to have limited amount of technologies in their stack: Backend -> Server app -> JSON -> Web app, because it gives them false feeling of coding their projects faster.

Web development is like playing football or any other sport for the masses, everyone can do that, but only few can achieve good results.

This makes the article sound like a bullshit linkbait from Captain Obvious.
