- Grue3 9y agoWhat about non-techie types who are suprised you won't just make a website for them (for free) in one day, or that you aren't an expect in all things tech by the sole virtue of being a programmer. Or, not being able to do mental arithmetic very well when you tell them you're a mathematician.
