How designers see developers – http://imgur.com/HVwSNQL
Farfignewton
Hello 1997, good to see you again.
prattleassassin
and what is the deal with airline food?
TermedCircle
That's pretty accurate to anybody sufficiently trained in something looking at the people who use it.
Eldibs
I've worked with people who couldn't manage sweeping and mopping well.
eddiebarzoon
As someone who sells paint, the thing you are trained in doesn't even have to be complicated for the users to royally fuck it up.
Stumbleine
HAH. A dinosaur. Cause old people.
TheCatManMightPeerIntoYourSoul
Yea, like users have the ability to fashion clothing from animal skins...
okayyeahigetit
Are we just going to ignore the dinosaur?
Kamica
That's the one user who knows what he's doing, but is not a developer... Them being dinosaurs with glasses only makes sense.

Yea, like users have the ability to fashion tools like clubs to work with

Like half of developers understand basic human behavior and communication. "I know how to code! I don't know shit about who for though"

They're store bought.
iamthisguy247
But I bought it from Urban Outfitters. They said it was Caveman-chic.
AgamemnonsMemes
Please they are actually looking at documentation. This is so inaccurate.

"Can you blow up this print without it getting all blurry?"
StarkTangent
No you can't
nesurame
I'm gonna go with 5.
Mistruths
7424 pixels. Yes I can.
StarkTangent
You didn't count them though. Lol
septillion
I like how the dinosaur totally gets it
Sairvous
As an IT major this holds true.
HeyGuysImBrian
This is so old that the cavemen have evolved into developers by now.

As someone who works customer facing, I constantly remind our devs that our users are slow. "But this design is so simple, why change it?"
TerribleBot
"press any key" ... a classic.

Mistruths
Computers are *really* good at folding things, and tetris.

I guess I'm a caveman because I think a developer is a guy who builds houses.
magila
Isn't a user a guy who needs to go to rehab?

It's a scene taken from a microsoft company pep talk speech or somethingDEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOP
FFKonoko
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, chanting developers while dancing around on stage. For their 25th anniversary event.
chbarts
Steve Ballmer. The man who now controls Microsoft, because Gates retired. Chanting "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS" at a mass meeting.
Corrodias
Didn't they just get rid of him? Or he's on his way out, or something.
dreadlockpirateroberts
Yes. He retired/was kicked out. He owns the clippers now.
HermitSweater
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH! COME OOOOOOOOON!
flickerdart
This is why UX is a thing, and why I have a job.

Hey there! Me too! W00t.

As a Linux user, care to win the lottery so you can give Open Source developers a hand?
flickerdart
Haha, I wish.
chbarts
I like Linux-style UI. I don't use Microsoft or Apple partly because their UIs aren't very usable for me.
EveryChickenInThisPlace
I actually really like working through the terminal
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
What browser are you browsing Imgur with? Do you compose all your papers in LaTeX or plain text? How do you fill a PDF form? ~
EveryChickenInThisPlace
I browse through Chrome. I have 2 PC's. One with Windows and a linux VM, and another with just linux.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Do you only play text based games? BTW, even these have a UX that can be better or worse.
EveryChickenInThisPlace
I am studying CS, so I do work through terminal for development, if I open files through it I use less or cat.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I spend 60-80% of my computer time typing into a shell, but hell if I can't do the tasks above conveniently.
MisleadingInformation
As a developer I can confirm that we usually hide secret "Make it better" buttons in our programs that we hope no one will ever find.
fullmoonhunter01
In tech support, I had a magic "Fix the problem" button, but I wasn't allowed to use it until I'd been through all the troubleshooting.
TheUltimateChimera
I also keep a magic wand in my desk drawer to instantly fix user's problems.
wam3483
The software I work on has some hidden menus for testing, and technical info. Nothing to really make the software better though.
NerdN1
Normally the "Make it better" button would give the layman enough rope to hang himself, however...
KymJongUrMum
lies!!!!
blacksteve
Hehehe... speedup loops! http://thedailywtf.com/articles/The-Speedup-Loop
demonjester1515
As a developer, I can confirm this too.
drejtehe
What?
NERDGASMM
As a "make is better" button, I can confirm.
NotAnAdmin
Real developer here. This is actually true in a lot of systems. For example, you can preload webpages in Firefox with ALT+F4. Saves time.
ClearenceClarence
You need Ultron. NASA uses it.

And don't forget the secret porn stash on all windows web browsers. They hide the x rated stuff behind the red X in the top right corner.
HitlersWetDream
Does this also apply to IT guys?
Melonfish
Absolutely.

If the first thing we say to people with a problem is "Is the machine on?" or "Have you tried turning it off and back on?" then I'd say yes.
CarlThatKillsPeople

As a developer, kind of, I guess. Yes, probably. Final answer, yes.

"Ma'am, please click the star in the corner for your favorites. No Thats A gear. Thats an x. Thats a House."

At least kids figure out to put something in there. A lot of users fail to make any connection whatsoever between things like DVD and drive.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

I worked a computer store w/ my dad for about a year.This actually happened. We've found food and various....unmentionable things inside PCs
snoogans671
I found a half eaten sandwich inside a tower once. it was old and gross
SheogorathPrinceOfCheese
Gross. A customer brought by a tower without the side panel on it. There was a cat poo right next to the CPU.
snoogans671
ive see poo in a computer before, but nothing larger than a rat. cat is a new one for me
