  • Documentation has gotten worse too. Veronica Explains discussed this issue in one of their videos. If you look at some good examples of documentation like the Commodore 64 manual, it explains concepts to an audience unfamiliar with computers in a way that’s easy to understand. Lots of modern software doesn’t have docs like this anymore. Then, on top of that, you have the condescending users in help forums.











  • I was lucky to go to relatively good public schools and do some extra classes as well. It’s unfortunate that a good education is locked behind being wealthy enough to live in a good area and additional instruction outside of school, sometimes. This is one of the things that shows that people are not on a level playing field in the US.


  • Practice is important. People definitely learn this level of math, but not using it for years dulls the senses. On top of that, lots of people scrape through school doing the bare minimum. (Not always their fault of course. Not everyone has ample opportunity to excel in school due to a variety of things.) From what I hear, the bar for graduating high school is not incredibly high, so people like this don’t surprise me.
