The "Mythical Non-Roboticist" idea suggests making robotics accessible to everyone by simplifying the programming process is the way to go. However, this overlooks the complexity of getting robots to function in the unpredictable real world. Creating oversimplified APIs for a vague, inexperienced user base leads to tools that fall apart in practical use. Instead of aiming for condescending simplicity, we should focus on developing powerful, flexible tools that eliminate unnecessary complexity. When someone starts programming a robot, they become roboticists, so design your APIs for peers who won't tolerate needless complications.
