Rant, why do people think if you are a dev you must know anything tech related ...

    Welcome to devRant! I know! I was asked to program my neighbors dehumidifier 😀

    Considering the shitty code I have to deal with at work, I'm surprised that nobody has asked me to pump out their septic tank.

    I think it happens to us all the time. :)

    Because the past generations of programmers were actually more tech oriented and nerdy than today's hipster-script kiddies. Having said that, I don't think the percentage of "no" replies were any lower. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you want to do something 😉

    Did you try to turn it off and then on ?

    Or maybe they know that in the end, being a programmer means that one is just good at googling how to do stuff 🤔

    Here you go, just follow these instructions I found on Google. Yea, us techies know how to use a search engine properly.

    Yeah it's an old common problem of our job. Fortunately, we know how to google. And two search queries later we have an idea how the problem could be solved. There remains only the question, why fucking shit the person can't google it by herself?!
    But yeah, the feeling is great if we could help someone, even we don't know ourselves.

    I like to use https://lmgtfy.com when someone is not capable of using a search engine ^^
