>Trust me if you can learn React or Kubernetes, you surely can learn the gestalt and understand "the design of everyday things"!

I understand and share the underlying sentiment, but it seems to me like quite a lot of people are suspiciously satisfied with how learning React or Kubernetes has entirely blinded them to the fact that the everyday things do indeed have a design.

Everyone wants developers to learn everything all the time... Software development, infrastructure management, testing, business analysis, design, even marketing and communication sometimes. We have to pick our battles. Guess what employers ask for from developers during interviews and 90% of the work. Plot twist: not design.
