This is one of the most common phrases I’ve heard in my career when I tell people that I write software. For awhile, I was going to say that I designed and manufactured toilets it was getting so bad. Why do people think that just because I write software, I know how to fix someone’s wacky computer problem? I have enough problems of my own keeping my computers running. To top it off, if I say I write Macintosh software, people are in awe and without fail have a Mac with some obscure problem. If I wanted to fix computers for a living, I would be a consultant and save the day, but I’m not a people person and frankly, I don’t like computers all the time.
