I get your point but "...it's important to not think like a hacker sometimes" made me chuckle because it implies that a hacker misses obvious things.

- blhack 16y agoThe example of the email thing seems pretty obvious to me.
- chipsy 16y agoWell, they do. That's the consequence of knowing something. Because you are "literate" in solutions based on reusing prior working knowledge(as in the "host photos on own web server" solution) you will fail to see a problem for the tech-illiterate layperson. This has some crossover with the "tech-elitist" trap as well. The intense focus of writing software tends to make people forget about a well-rounded life - and the more you are involved with computers instead of people, the more likely you are to look down upon people who cannot live in the computer world.
