Agreed - I credit my entire career to this. I started watching people trying to solve problems, and then would piece together something "silly" that helped them solve it.
Next thing I was doing a big system implementation. Then consulting.
One note - now that I'm removed from day to day and don't have time to program myself I see how easy it is NOT to pay attention to how anyone will use something.
I imagine this is how windows gets bloated with candy crush saga and all the bloatware even on the "pro" versions. What employer wants this stuff on users computers? It just clutters up menues.
- reificator 7y agoI play games all the time and I don't want games preinstalled. And it's not just that it's a casual game like Candy Crush. I don't care if it's the latest Call of Duty or whatever you young whippersnappers play nowadays. My work PC is for work and my gaming PC is for games I choose to download. Even if it came with Minecraft I'd go and download the Java version instead for mod support.
- Cpoll 7y ago> I imagine this is how windows gets bloated with candy crush saga Who knows, it's possible the Windows team just watched a lot of people install Candy Crush, and decided it would be a good addition to Minesweeper/Solitaire/Hearts (and what employer wants those on their computers?).
