I agree. That's why I tend not to provide code samples to her. You can find them on Google just as easily, but the problem with Naomi and code samples is she'll try one and if that doesn't work or has errors, she'll try another, and another etc. I would hate to be hired to maintain that code base. With the angular JS stuff, she's in over her head.
