This is one of the best comments ever in HN. Every engineer should understand this. Users don't care about what's behind. They care about whether it works and its easy. All the rest is irrelevant to them. We engineers tend to think 'but if this particular thing X happens in the code/stack and causes this particular problem Y, it will cause a Z% percentage problem and this will affect the user experience'. But in the end, for the overwhelming majority of the cases what ends up happening on the user side ends up being something unnoticeable to the user. Causing a lot of time to be spent for something that the users dont care about. It feels more like we engineers use such logic of 'better code/application' to justify ourselves doing what we would like to do and build with the code than anything else that is related to the user. |
