Hello, I'm Phoshi, amateur programmer and web designer. I'm also infatuated with the AutoHotKey scripting language, and try to answer questions using it whenever possible. (The argument 'but people might not have it installed' simply does not make sense to me. Who wouldn't install autohotkey? Horrible!) Also in love with Python, the first programming language I can write just for the joy of writing it, rather than for the end result. Minor crush on C# - I still write it for the end result, but it does that pretty well.
Feel free to follow me on twitter, but I don't say much.

Is it okay to call the reader's target audience stupid? @SchroedingersCat: Collectively, they have enough "dumb" to make every mistake, even if it's not concentrated in any one user. The value of calling users dumb isn't in the actual meaning, it's that it'll stick in people's heads. "Your userbase is varied enough to, given enough time, expose every flaw in your UX" isn't as snappy as "Users are dumb", and the latter is more likely to make an impact on somebody and get them to actually change something. |

Is it okay to call the reader's target audience stupid? A user is smart, the users are dumb. Even if everybody understands 99% of your UI, then given 100 people there's a chance that every single element could be misinterpreted by somebody. "The users are dumb" doesn't mean that any individual one of them is stupid, it means that collectively they have the ability to make just about every mistake, distributed between them. |
