That’s the price of specialization. Don’t ask a software engineer to troubleshoot hardware. Don’t ask a backend dev to write a frontend. Don’t ask a proctologist to look at your cough.
You simply cannot be proficient at every sub-sub-specialty. That’s why we collaborate and hand the ‘my computer gets hot’ problems to the hardware people. The alternative would be only moderately useful generalist.
I'm not asking everyone to be able to become a hardware specialist, but if you can't even figure out "my computer gets hot" I'm not going to be able to trust anything you do. Identifying a heat issue does not take a rocket surgeon.
