I keep get the feeling that we (technical folks) are doing a great job of solving our problems while most of the non-technical folks get left behind.
It seems as though if we better understood the world from their perspective, there's a lot of value yet to be create by us for the needs of non-technical people. Generally speaking, creating value is profitable.
Good article.
- byrneseyeview 19y agoI started getting technical when I realized that life was more fun when I can outsource the boring parts to a computer. This isn't especially rare, either: Excel/VBA wasn't designed to be a financial modeling language, but it's one of the standards in quantitative finance because so many traders kept track of information in Excel, and ended up getting really good at it. As languages proliferate and integration between web apps gets more common, I think moving along the user-developer continuum will get easier.
