You are very much correct, and don't worry about the other comment. You see that elitist take scarily often in some of these communities. I saw one person try to argue that programs should be intentionally made less user friendly, to force people to become better at computers.

They literally don't understand how most people think and only see things from their own tech perspective.

There is a reason UX is as respected as a soft science :/

Or that people specialize, have finite time and mental energy and opportunity costs everywhere. How competent are these techies in areas of humanity they haven't taken hundreds of hours to practice?

I know I'm not, heh.

Spending a couple of months in company IT support tends to help people realize better, or make them bitter.


Those TV shows like the IT Crowd aren't joking with their situations. I've literally had to walk across several buildings or go to another town just to plug in the power cable of a monitor, or physically hit the power button, multiple times.
