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.

*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
@RileySharkie I'm sure there's a song out there that has done that, country or not. lol
so, @Scarly has started working from home a little bit
my theory is that she's doing this because it allows her to scream in frustration when horrible emails come in
(and let me tell you, there have been a lot of horrible emails)
it doesn't even matter if it's like "ok so this is what this character looked like before hrt"
brain goes "make them into another oc"
