> Engineers should be delegated to the worker-bee level and you should just get some gear heads and some soccer moms to design to UI.

This, but unironically.

MUST include the elderly.

Big Tech, WTF guys you let gen-z/millennials design your interfaces and ship w/e works for them alone? Seniors have money and can’t use your products

Well, seniors get everything else handed to them in this world, so I don't shed many tears when they are left out for once.

Some deserve our wrath but it’s tough for a lot of them out there! From USA:

  The U.S. Census Bureau's latest data, released today, show that the poverty rate continues to rise among older adults, reaching 15%.

  This rise in economic challenges comes as recent cuts to benefits programs, like SNAP and Medicaid, will inevitably leave more older adults without funds to afford basic costs of living, including medications, health care visits, and food.

boohoo, a whole 15 percent. Maybe they should've thought about that before collectively voting for the worst possible people
