Your translation is elegant.
Actually, the person that posted it is a decent engineer, but her English is pretty bad. I don't think she ever learned how to conjugate a verb. And while I'll rip all day long on people's online grammar/spelling, ESL folks get a pass from me. It's not like I could do better writing in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, or Australian.
