I'm a woman, and I didn't find this patronizing or sexist, unlike some of the commenters on both the post comments and here.

I've gotten much more into web development in the past couple years, and this post reminds me of a handful of precious conversations I've had with incredibly smart people who took the time to bring together concretes and abstractions together in a way I could understand. I think this is a good post to share with other no-so-technical-people who you wish understood more about what you do.

Maybe I should write a post on "How I Explained Marketing to My Husband"
