@odr_k4tana@infosec.exchange And why am I technically proficient? It is because of what was available for me to play with when I was growing up. Something no longer available to newer generations.

@odr_k4tana@infosec.exchange just having read down the thread some, I want to thank you for this comment, having been born in the 80's and been discouraged from studying coding beyond basic HTML/CSS despite loving it because computer science "was for boys." I graduated in 2004, and went to a very fancy high school, and this was still the attitude. It literally changed the course of my life, and now I'm cognitively disabled (long covid). Usability DOES matter, and not always for the reasons folks assume.
