Yes, exactly. It's as though your yellow pages phone book had its pages replaced with green paper, the entries were all written in comic sans and all of the entries just gave the same phone number for Dominos Pizza. And yet, you continue to use it to try and look things up, stopping occasionally to phone a friend of yours who works in the dictionary industry to complain, and he tells you to sell your house and move to a different street, so that you will get a new copy of the yellow pages delivered.
Of course that would never happen, so why do we put up with it here?
- grkvlt 12y agoI expect it's down to a 'computers do inexplicable things all the time that I will never understand, so i better just put up with it or something worse might happen' mentality, which we (as IT professionals) can do something about. Computers should be as obvious, understandable and predictable as physical objects.
