I guess maybe not everyone will agree with this, but I believe there are limits to what a person can be learn.

So, when techies ask people to learn arbitrary tech mumbo-jumbo, they have implicitly decided that this tech thing is more important than whatever else they'll lose/skip/forget to make room for it.

Making tech easy for people is respecting the fact that they may have other priorities in life.

@HerraBRE
I don't think this a terribly controversial view anymore. UX is generally a priority unless its just a personal or developer internal tool.

@frostotron I wouldn't have been inspired to toot that if I hadn't found myself debating these issues, more than once, quite recently...

There are loads of techies out there who think fixing the user is an acceptable solution.

And we should make the things we create easy to learn.

is not easy to achieve but it is to use, understand and learn.

However, until we complete the plug, to learn will always requires an effort.

And actually, if I learnt something from my daughters, it's that what is valuable always requires to sacrifice time, fatigue and effort.

What's the of ?
