Also a lot of beginners skipped a lot of (cultural?) foundational knowledge. A basic understanding of filesystem, network, and os commands would go a long way for communication efficiency. Instead, they’re cargo-culting.

There really is a huge gap between a programmer and being capable at using a computer. I work in the data space and while im good enough for my own needs with Python and grew up in the 90s with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1/95, the second i have to use something that is build by and for programmers i too end up feeling like the blog post describes.

		The difference is merely how this thing works vs how this thing is used. And the glue factor between the two is ops. Between the developer and the user, there should be the maintainer role. Someone that took a software and make it run on a specific system. That requires familiarity with the system internal and build systems. This is why packages managers like in linux distributions are a great solution. A working solution is often just a command away. App stores could be good too, if not for the gatekeeping effects.
