"Oh you're a software developer? Can you install Photoshop on my computer?"

Tbh I do tend to help hr at work as never hurts to keep co workers on the pleasant side, though have to balance not being too helpful

A: Yeah, from source

It's like asking a painter to help hanging up a painting.

@mrgemeco have to see it from their view they don't have the IT knowledge to install the program but they see you do. We may see it is simple but to them it can be witch craft

@Rebane Yeah it requires a bit of basic knowledge of how to use a computer however if it's anything like i.e my mother, she knows how to do it but has such a defeatist view so it's easier to give the job to someone else than actually trying.

@Rebane helping an HR or someone you work with is something you SHOULD do. But literally helping everybody who expects this out of you is wrong IMO.

@jinx wat

Why yes, yes I can. But it is more of a case of "should we do it" - maybe you can use mspaint95 for all I care. maybe gimp. Google that.
Btw - my hourly rate is 500$/30 min - how should I bill you for my time? cash is always good.

@magicMirror I charge in whiskey

@Rebane Only in 12 year old single malt, and above.

YEET THAT SHIT

@Rebane Sorry, no. Most of the time the "skill" to install software is to double-click on an item and hit "continue" until it is done.

@Yamakuzure wow wow wow double click and continue is that what was taught at uni 😋, sorry some users are confused by even the threat of change, so installing software is like the apocalypse to them

@Rebane OK, that's true.
