    I haven’t written code in 8 months.

    But your family member hasn’t written code in 8 months!

      Many people are weirdly helpless about computers. If you’ve ever tried to help someone with tech, you’ve probably encountered the

      • “it didn’t work”
      • what did it say?
      • I don’t know it just didn’t work
      • but what did the error message say specifically
      • I didn’t read it

      Kind of user.

          Or the “pc handyman”.

          Me: “Why does your motherboard have a …uh… sheen and smell like WD40?”

          PC Handyman: “Well it was running slow so I greased it.”

          I wish that were not a true story.

            I usually see the reverse. People who work with computers making every effort NOT to need to help.

            My favorite is a friend who does techsupport for a datacenter. He always asks “wait, this computer you’re having trouble with, can you lift it? Would you say it’s smaller than your fridge? Oh, sorry, then I can’t help you”

      That’s true to a point, but I feel like Microsoft should have the budget and infrastructure to properly test their releases. A bug every once in a while? Sure. Multiple serious bugs that break major features every year? Pretty embarrassing.
