This is it exactly. Was a product manager and this is exactly the issue I faced with devs that had no real world usage experience.

Our users are literially the most irritating people on earth

Wh have met with the users who use our product. But they don't seem very able to articulate what it is they actually want or need from the system. It's always vague ideas and nothing actionable.

Them: Oh we need to be able to find customers even if they can't remember their account number.
Us: Yes but you can, just enter the company name.

This is usually met with either a vague "yeah" or "no not like that", and then they never elaborate.

Nah. I'm pretty sure they're mad too. They just can't really do anything against it since it's not their decision

I met a user for a tool I built at work. It was the worst.

What's the option, if you don't mind me asking?

That's the reason quasi connectivity exists.

you bet im still on 1.8 for the combat, lol

"Mods was a bug, now it's fixed, no more hacking the game, users will be able to play as intended."

The more subscription models there are, the more people there are creating cracks for subscriptions

Such as?

Other software: Don’t like this change? Go fork yourself.

Open Source software: Don’t like this change? Go fork it yourself.

Emacs: What do you mean you don’t like this change? You wrote the Elisp for the package yourself.

Not in my experience. The three most dangerous things in the world are:

• A programmer with a soldering iron.
• An HVAC tech with a software patch.
• A user with an idea.

I recently had a user claim the upgrade from office 2019 to 365 broke her laptop screen.
