While I understand the frustrations that some experts may experience when someone who writes "11 lines of code" claims they understand Neural Networks, at the end of the day why does it matter? If anything its really cool that more and more people are getting excited about this technology, and that it is becoming more accessible.

While the author of this article seems to have decent knowledge of the work in this space, his rant really came off (to me) as "Hey look at how smart I am that I can dismiss people who are trying to learn" and made the author appear really insecure.

I believe we should be promoting and fostering a more inclusive environment for those looking to learn ML/AI, in fact if it weren't for some of the (user friendly) tools and friends who taught me a lot, I might have not been so inclined to attempt to write "11 lines of code".
