Often with zero knowledge of programming, and always with zero knowledge of the specific problems that the devs have been confronting, the Children of Dunning-Kruger declare with absolute confidence that "the dev's should have easily done <insert hyperbole here> by now!"

Such "reasoning" is then used to attack the character of the developers. They must be lazy. They just took the money and ran.

Recently, one "game" has been able to seduce me away from Valheim. It's a programming environment called Lazarus, which I am using to create my own wallpaper/slideshow program, based on the thin excuse that nothing works exactly the way I want it to. Nuts.

Programming is fun, not work. Even the company Dilbert works for cannot turn programming into work. That's why they have to resort to endless meetings and team-building exercises.

So the accusation that the devs are shirking is as ignorant as it is insulting. If the people who hurl it knew how much they are revealing about themselves, they would stop.
