   When they hear that I’m a software developer, non-techie folks generally don’t quite know what do picture, and imagine me doing something like IT support.

   The best and quickest way I’ve found of explaining it is, “No, no, I don’t fix people’s computers. I’m one of the people who •makes• all the computer problems in the first place.”

     I like to think of all the hardware and software folks as being one big happy problem-creating team

     @inthehands @fay59 @Catfish_Man Well, not literally all. There’s some real boneheaded hardware out there too. 😆
