That's like 90% of the people I know outside of computer/engineering circle. Most of people probably have never opened a plaintext file in their life. They would have no idea what to do with a `.md` file.
In fact, some older engineers would not know what markdown is either, since it's only been around for two decades or so, but they can probably work with it anyway (the strength of plain text).
- hks0 2y agoExactly! Hence the "please don't try product design role" advice for me. I seem to live in an all-engineers bubble.
- zelphirkalt 2y agoEngineers are people too. Engineers use products as well. Maybe you would have gone into a saner direction than most products go.
