That's uncalled for. How many software developers ever bother to use the software they develop, or work with (or even talk to) the people who use the software as part of their job? Actually doing the job that your users do, even part time, is fantastic dedication. Doing it full-time is absurd; when would he make use of what he's learned?
- coldtea 10y ago>That's uncalled for. It's not an insult. It's a statement of fact: it is a different experience than depending on Uber driving for your livelihood. So one should not read much into it regarding the hardships/issues of drivers as professionals. The same way a NLE developer that "eats his own dog food" by editing his daughter's birthday video doesn't exactly have the same experience/needs/issues of using the software as a professional editor in TV or film.
