I'm curious why you think she should become a marketer? While she's clearly been able to gain attention (a key part of a marketer's job), she has also proven to be a self-starter, capable of learning new, complex things, and can communicate effectively (at least in written word). These are skills and traits that can take you far in any profession, provided you have at least a basic aptitude in the field (which Jennifer clearly demonstrates).

Your ability to be a dick is remarkable. You should be a mall cop, not a coder.

She's certainly publicized her project well, but so do lots of people. I think the attention that she's garnered from this is mostly because what she's done is really cool and shows incredible initiative and dedication.

It's amazing how people are reacting to this.

Why? This is an incredible non-sequitir.

She attracted attention to the fact that she was developing a high number of experiments in a short time. The coding aspect was intrinsic to get the attention.

I don't think her ability to get her work known would translate well to getting other people's creations known. Anyway, everyone ought to know how to market themselves, or suffer at the whims of those who do.

Maybe she's better at marketing than coding - I don't know I haven't followed her project too closely.

But I think she's likely already demonstrated enough to land a junior front-end gig somewhere. Along with a work ethic and learning ability, she'll produce in that role.

It seems that people took that comment negatively but I read it as a complement. She is a good writer, presents herself well, and could also be a marketer or spokesperson.

If someone is better at x than y, it doesn't mean they are bad at x, especially if they are very good at y.

there really is no place for negativity, especially about such an awesome project
