Lol he’s a computer expert. If everyone who has a valued opinion needed to … Work for the company they are criticizing… There could be no such thing as a critic
It doesn’t take an expert to arrive at the same conclusion
So… Exactly? Just is noteworthy if a smart SME also notices
Would it be as noteworthy if Bill Waterson from QA at Veeva Systems said it?
Doubt anybody’s quoting Bill
