This sounds like a front-end dev that understands the intricacies of all of this when, again, this person is saying "I just want the content centered".

- bawolff 2y agoAt some point this is just silly. If you're assuming the user knows nothing then all tasks are hard. Ever try putting an image in a page if you don't know HTML? It's pretty tricky.
- t-writescode 2y agoAt some point, sure; but there is always value in comprehending why someone might find an existing flow overly obtuse and/or frustrating when they "just want to do a simple thing". To imagine otherwise reminds me of The Infamous Dropbox Comment. Addendum: to wit, whole companies, like SquareSpace and Wix, exist because web dev is a pain and WYSWIG editors help a lot
- re-thc 2y ago> Addendum: to wit, whole companies, like SquareSpace and Wix, exist because web dev is a pain and WYSWIG editors help a lot But these companies DO care (or at least that's the point) and don't "just want to do a simple thing". The point of outsourcing is to give it to a professional with expertise like seeing a doctor. Dropbox isn't "just a simple thing" either, so no not the same.
- re-thc 2y ago> again, this person is saying "I just want the content centered". You can't just want. It always backfires. It's called being ignorant. There are always consequences. I just want to cross the road without caring too. Oh the cars might just hit me. Doesn't matter? > This sounds like a front-end dev that understands the intricacies of all of this That's the person that's supposed to do this job? Sounds bog standard. What's the problem?
