Programmers create what they want, not what users need.
Users want a cheaper Photoshop.
Programmers create GIMP.
Users want a simpler Windows.
Programmers push Linux.
Users want better AI in Skyrim.
Programmers conceive Nethack.
Users want easier to use email.
Programmers introduce 2FA.
Users want a faster WinZip.
Programmers rewrite BWT in Rust.
It doesn't matter how elegant is your code or how sexy is your programming language, when the end result is a waste of effort.
How is any of that "the problem of programmers"? None of this is *our* problem — since (and as long as) "users want" a $0 price sticker first and foremost =)
Most programmers don't even know rust, that's the main problem imo
This is low hanging shitpost.
Programmers are users too. It's nodev, noskill, nolit that complain.
Whiney bitches that can't read a fucking manual and solve their own damn program.
Programmers create what they want, not what users need.
What is the problem?
Programmer-users need only create what they want, and have no obligation to create what the illiterate "users" want.
Programmer-users are not slaves who have to satisfy the illiterate "users".
The illiterate "users" are like kids in a candy store. They want everything and do not know what they really need.
Illiterate users should educate themselves to become programmer-users. That way, they will know their true needs and how to fulfill those needs.
The problem is this world foists computers onto people who in the past wouldn't have wanted to use them anyway.
Users are perfectly able to get the software they need by personally hiring a programmer to write that software. This is the meaning of free software.
It's a free market baby
Communist fosstards can't do anything right
C-U-MMM! (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻
programmers literally hold users at gunpoint to use software they donut want

Your society*. My society uses computers for leisure.
