I was gonna say, clients aren’t the only ones.
Feels like a lot of developers and especially UX designers have a bad habit of disappearing up their own asshole nowadays.
It’s a reason why sometimes an open source project manages to be way better than a comparatively well resourced commercial offering. When the developers are the users, they will get the nuance of things.
Works well for a lot of “power user” software where the users are either developers, or at least similar mindset as a developer. Sometimes open source doesn’t deal too well with making things simple without power user features that casual users may find confusing or distracting.
