i see a lot of comments saying that we're watching from the sidelines criticizing, and therefore have no clue what's going on. How is that even remotely true?

How is that even remotely true? We are the victims of the system. We experience firsthand what they do or believe they do.
This is like saying you think you know what the TSA is doing. Right? Wrong. Of course we do, we're the ones being screened.
what we don't know is the logic and culture behind the decisions we see, but that doesn't take any right away to criticize it.
having been an overachiever in school, and early university, it's been a constant struggle. "oh but school is not actually made for people like you" you say. yeah, i know. how is that not a problem?
edit: don't get me wrong, i've had a few really good teachers. but they've been rather few. and no, i'm not just counting the teachers i liked as good.
- lewispollard 13y agoDoes someone who's used a computer all their life know the ins and outs of being a programmer? Would you listen to their recommendations on how to improve your code? The answer is likely yes, feedback from customers is important - but you're not gonna get any useful advice re: the architecture or the design patterns used.
