Even if I had that luxury, I really don’t want to spend my time fixing someone else’s UI. I have my own projects to work on.
I used to do a lot of user testing and I think it’s something every bit of software needs. I really admire projects that decide to do big pushes on usability and papercuts.
I thought it was just me! I’ve been using Inkscape for a long time now and I always feel I’m wrestling with the damn thing. I understand the principles behind vectors but I’ll be damned if I can consistently achieve what I’m attempting to accomplish.
That’s the polar opposite of how I work with regards to manuals. I cannot retain that level of in-depth knowledge without anything to anchor it to. Reading a dictionary for a language before learning the grammar syntax does not work for me at all (and explains why I wasn’t able to really learn languages until I was a teenager!).
I see where you’re coming from, but I’ve encountered many things in professional applications where the UX baffles me. I know what I’m trying to get the program to do but it seems to require me to keep notes as to how to achieve the thing. Menu entries with needlessly cryptic names, heavily nested functionality, that sort of thing.
It’s entirely possible to know how to use a program and still think its UI is dogshit.
Is “vibe coding” a real thing? I thought it was a meme.
These are internal drives connected to a desktop PSU wired to a USB interface to connect to the laptop.
Haha, yeah. It does make me wonder whether I should bin the whole TrueNAS approach entirely. It seems like a tremendous faff when I could just have the files mirrored to another disk as a backup.
The hard disks are on a separate power supply. The TrueNAS software is running on an old laptop so it effectively has UPS protection.
I’m glad someone does! I don’t like disliking it.
I have to use Bootstrap at work and I’m really not a fan. It’s somehow more work than writing CSS from scratch.
What’s so WTF about it? I’m repurposing old hardware and testing out the concept. I’m not shelling out a pile of cash on something that might not work for me.
