I am a software developer, not a 15 year old
Hi ๐ you're reading a pretty old post! I started writing on here back in high school and this page may not reflect my current views. Recommend checking out related articles and categories down below, I've likely published more recent thoughts on this topic.
As a _computer guy _I often get asked to do various computer related things for people. Because obviously I work with computers all day and that means I can use every piece of software ever invented. Most of all it means I can fix any computer any time.
But I'm not 15 anymore. It's been a while since I've been able to use any piece of software I don't use frequently - sometimes I barely use 5% of what a piece of software can do (I'm looking at you Emacs) and am completely oblivious to everything else.
And yet, the requests come.
So for future reference, here is a list of things I don't know anymore:
<list off a bunch of random requests peopel keep making and wear your ignorance proud>
<explain that this isn't so much ignorance as it is specialisation>
