I'm gonna bet that my mom has had a website since before you were born*. She was taking fortran classes in the 60s. Your ageist attitude is pretty gross. So what if she had help? Another bet, you can't program without the help of online resources and/or a chatbot either.
* given the dates on your resume, there's a very good chance I'm correct in this
you are being just as rude as the other person, if not more, buddy. There is a much better and constructive way to make this point. Also, the title says that she is "learning to code" so its not unreasonable to say that she probably isn't handling the website stuff... Also, the commenter is making a conjecture about the veracity of OP, not the mother per se.
I am old myself. It is not ability to learn with age that is suspicious it is wanting to share it like this and it would be a clever marketing move.
I will learn new things until the day I can't. I am currently learning the Stan language but I am not going to write a medium article "What happens when an old man attempts to learn Stan?"
I bet you could write that article, regardless of programming experience, and tell a compelling story. Different people share different parts of themselves online, and I think that's okay.
I'd characterize the original comment as a cynical accusation of shilling, so I'm quite curious what you read as "spite" in mine. Must I point out that I, too, use external resources whilst programming?
