I’ve seen a lot of folks online who think they can teach developers how to develop, but I didn’t imagine the problem was so bad in face-to-face interactions.

As spotted by Game*Spark, Tokyo Game Dungeon’s official X account made a statement on May 5 saying that despite the organizers’ efforts to raise awareness about the issue of “preachy dudes” over the past two years, they still haven’t been able to eliminate the problem at their events. According to their definition, “preachy dudes”(jp: sekkyo ojisan) are people of any age and gender who find it acceptable to badger developers with condescending, unsolicited “advice” on their abilities and work.

    Its actually literally the same as the customer is always right. The customer is always right means that a customer can tell you they want a device that functions as a vacuum cleaner. But can’t tell you what kind.

    They arnt an expert they don’t actually understand what they are buying, just that they need a thing that does a function and they think a thing they are buying will do that function. Regardless if it will or will not. Your job ass a salesman is to see though the stupid shit the customer is saying and sell them something that will do the function they want and in a manner they find acceptable. With out driectly explaining to them why they are wrong about something.

    The full proper saying is the customer is always right in matters of taste(opinion/preferences).
