This article was fascinating to me because it described my experience when using software. I'd constantly run into bugs and issues and would get frustrated.
Even when I worked at a big tech company where I was surrounded by other devs, I would find and fix bugs, improve framework abstractions, etc.
The idea that people have to have a mental model on things should work to find bugs was interesting.
The life of a gardener continues to call my name.
Do it, tending nature is a lot easier than attempting to herd cats that think they’re the honest thing since sliced bread and their code would never fail.
