I wonder how I earn a living doing what I do, and have never heard the word "bookmarklet". Reading the definition I know what they are, I've just never heard the term until now.

- akkartik 15y agoI saw the XML icons on websites for years before paying attention to what they meant (RSS feed) and what you could do with it (feedreaders, etc.) We as a profession suck. It's not a criticism, just a statement of fact. We're in the stone ages. The interfaces my fellow programmers create are hard to discover, hard to understand, hard to use. And then I try to create interfaces and end up perpetrating the same crimes in my turn.
