In hindsight my phrasing came across as very insulting and if I could edit it now, I would. Please note that the intent was merely to snarkily question his domain knowledge regarding Web development, and not to assert he was clearly an incompetent.

I also fully admit that as an undergraduate student, I am nowhere near as impressive as the Stanford PhD student (though you could have chosen a more fair comparison than between a copy-edited resume and a skimming of my "GitHub resume"). I do humbly submit that MathQuill is more substantive than any JavaScript project you or Edward Yang has ever created (or than your or his contributions to any JavaScript project).




However, he only graduated from undergrad this past year—so while he is a Stanford Ph.D. student, he's only been one for about a few weeks.
