Pretty bold (and stupid) move on their part. This whole DIY software / design thing was a huge fad about 8 years ago. Loads of start ups (some well funded) popped up. They all disappeared, because there's no such thing as DIY software / design. Same as there's no such thing as DIY engineering.
For the forseeable future, things like quality website design and software development are still going to require trained humans. No passing it off to a computer just yet.
