Would it / they / we? From what I've seen, the tech community (on the whole, averaged) isn't great at synthesizing and communicating information to non-technica

- 15charlimit 11y agoThe blade cuts in both directions. Yes it is a disservice to themselves and others that non-technical people zone out as soon as someone starts talking about technical issues. But it is also a disservice to themselves and others when technical people don't even try to simplify (in a non-patronizing way) high level concepts for consumption by the general public. Both sides aren't actually "trying". Both sides should be. Someone has to take the first step toward a halfway point, and history shows it ain't gonna be "joe/jane public".
