@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.

@secretsloth@mastodon.art yeah, there's a lot of strong voices that might be very competent in their field of expertise but have a hard time imagining other people's experiences being different. I've been refocusing my teaching in usable security to a harder psychology ("understanding humans") focus recently since I noticed such tendencies in students as well. They seem to enjoy the new perspectives.
