I agree with you. Most employers and their HR departments go by the list of acronyms aka skills. I’ve been asked many times if I know “See number sign” (C#) and how many years of this or that I have.

They are asking the wrong questions. It does not matter much that you know
the syntax of the language if you cannot design UI, database or your back end.

This is a great break down, and your last point hits home. It amazes me when we develop programs, and then think we have all considerations taken care of, the users come along, and find the most interesting things that they do to break things. I am always floored when they find a way to mess something up that we never considered.

I like your approach. I am by no means a programmer, but I have worked with many in my day job.

They all mean well, but in laymans terms, I find it hard to undertand. They typically think very modularly and process oriented, and Im looking for more simple, easy terms to understand!

Most developers are too smart and dont think like the level of people using the software. After doing tech support for three years I learned you cant assume anything or you are trying to solve problems and getting asked questions like “oh, you want me to turn the computer on?”

Usability definition> In a simplified form, a usable system is that which is User Friendly. (It covers all – Easy to use, easy to learn & Difficult to make mistakes) Simply; Think like a user while development.

A lot of usability is common sense. The problem is that a lot of developers don’t think about the end user.
