If there’s one lesson I badly want to see all engineers learn is that odds are they haven’t the faintest clue what it’s like to be a typical user.

99% of computer users do not inhabit the same galaxy as you do when it comes to understanding and managing technical details.

I feel you there. I’m a PO so have those kind of arguments regularly!

At the same time, 99% of computer users have no idea why we can’t just ‘slap x button there and make it do x’ and that is just as infuriating.

So true. And even other engineers too.
