@trochee@dair-community.social @afeinman@wandering.shop @jk@mastodon.social hard agree. That attitude is part of the regression in software engineering that I referred to recently.
20 yrs ago the prevailing ethos was that to do real engineering there had to be users in the room trying the software on a daily basis and making you question your assumptions. We called it #ExtremeProgramming because you couldn’t go farther as an engineer than to continuously center user value over your dreams for the algorithm.

@trochee@dair-community.social @afeinman@wandering.shop @jk@mastodon.social I hate that talking about this has turned me into a curmudgeon instead of a cool old guy.
