*Hospital gets new patient information software* "Gee I wish the programmers had talked to some nurses and doctors instead of just other programmers"
*School gets new student assessment software* "Gee I wish the programmers had talked to some teachers and students instead of just other programmers"
*Construction company gets new materials tracking software* "Gee I wish the programmers had talked to some installers and estimators etc"

Just a trend I've noticed

seeing ads for Sunless Skies on half the sites I have whitelisted, and I'm just like... okay, sure, y'all got me figured out, but what you don't know is that I already bought the game 🤷

non-programmers are an important part of open source projects. non-programmer contributions are valid and useful and not second tier or otherwise less valuable.

it's easy to say programmers are the only value-add when you're fortunate enough to have enough non-programmers that you can take them for granted.

if you take away the feature requests, translations, and general chatter - many OSS projects would have never been more than flawed, narrow use case tech demos.

psa - my posts are boostable *esp* the ones on racism - give them a broader audience and do the same for any others that you come across

it's radical af to put the experiences of poc out front and center, esp the ones that don't always mesh with mainstream liberal/leftist takes
