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?
Whhpssh
Yuuuuuuup...
HeyGuysImBrian
This is so old that the cavemen have evolved into developers by now.

Hello 1997, good to see you again.

This really needs to have another panel. "How Support sees users."
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.

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?"
Sairvous
As an IT major this holds true.
poopjokesarefunny
All spiders are web developers
septillion
I like how the dinosaur totally gets it
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.
NerdN1
Normally the "Make it better" button would give the layman enough rope to hang himself, however...
drejtehe
What?
demonjester1515
As a developer, I can confirm this too.
NERDGASMM
As a "make is better" button, I can confirm.
KymJongUrMum

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.

You need Ultron. NASA uses it.

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.

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?"

Yes. Yes we do.

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
Ejam0314
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.
ugn1
As a former IT guy, totally yes.

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

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.

But I bought it from Urban Outfitters. They said it was Caveman-chic.

Steve Ballmer. The man who now controls Microsoft, because Gates retired. Chanting "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS" at a mass meeting.

Didn't they just get rid of him? Or he's on his way out, or something.

Yes. He retired/was kicked out. He owns the clippers now.
