Uhmm? There's furniture there, one of the lines from the article actually commented on them having just bought a conference table, and the pictures in the article show desks.
15 years ago, when I worked for one of the first ecommerce startups ( OpenMarket.com ), one of our founders was quoted in Fortune that the reason we didn't have any chairs in the conference rooms was that it "kept meetings short".
In fact, the chairs just hadn't been delivered yet, and the journalist missed the joke.
Shocking that "Your Definitive Neighborhood Guide to Northcenter, Lincoln Square and Ravenswood Manor" would miss the distinction between a web programming framework and the language it's implemented in, isn't it?
Why? I'm thinking office space is like hardware. If your memory isn't full and your cpu pegged, you aren't getting your moneys worth.
So many questions.
On the "Django" point: I know the difference between a web framework and a programming language and a scripting language. I use them. But most of our readers don't, and the paragraph it would take to explain just didn't serve the story or our readers - who are decidedly non-programmers.
