... once you've figured out how to build a functional car with legos, you can teach your 10 year old nephew how to build his own.
If it's so simple, then why are the things built with it so complicated, and unreliable, and hard to maintain, and have to be re-built completely every once in a while?

I explained why. Do you think a car made of legos would be easy to maintain or reliable? I didn't mean a toy car, I meant a daily driver car.
Check yourself. You're arguing simultaneously that building your car out of legos is advantageous (easy enough for a 10 year old?) and also a terrible idea.
Do you have an argument or opinion of your own are you just going to incorrectly rephrase my statements? I never claimed it was advantageous.
I'm sorry I thought being able to teach a 10-year-old was the advantage?
I'm not sure what you don't understand? The argument is that 1) tools make the web accessible to non-experts, and 2) the products made using the tools are of a lower quality than what an expert could have made without using them.
I actually do not understand the metaphor. I do not know what the Legos are supposed to represent. I thought HTML and JS originally, but now I don't know. And I don't know what the expert tools for web dev would even be, IRL.
Legos represent tools (like JS) that simplify things by not requiring the developer to understand concepts such as memory management, types, SIMD, threads, etc. Expert tools for web dev would be lower level and therefore require understanding more of these concepts.
OK but like does anyone actually use anything lower level than JS for web dev?
@NilesFinch is obviously not claiming that it's simpler *for an experienced programmer*. The claim is that most web developers lack knowledge in key areas. If web development required knowledge of these areas, most current web developers would be out of a job.
