I spent longer in front line support than anyone should ever have to thankyou . Decades.

I think it has instilled and understanding and sense of duty towards the people we are actually supporting that *some of* my new colleagues , who have barely ever worked with the frontline people doing the primary work , haven't got. (its user error! close that! not us! tell em to got the official' takes weeks' route! etc )

I dont see how microsoft changing the layout every ten minutes helps.

The ONLY thing I ask of end users is they understand what a filepath is. Its the key to knowing where your shit is .

All of Microsoft's (and others ) attempts to undermine that principle (Library folders ! ffs! ) is basically just shooting everyone in the foot and "enabling" IT illiteracy.
