Family's reaction to you becoming a dev?
Week 18 Group Rant

Dad: “Cool! Now you can sit around like you always do!” 😑

Mom: “So you are programming the computer? Can you show me how to do x on my computer/iPhone?” Except it’s the same questions every single time... She never learns...

Brother: Talks to me about jailbreak stuff

And of course, they all ask me how to fix things on different electronics.

    I'm amazed that programmers still haven't realised that society expects them to be able to fix all electronic devices /s

    @Paramite Lol true, but she asks me how to share pictures and sometimes how to send an email. And it’s not the 3rd or 4th time, it’s the 400th. Some of the tasks are very basic ones that she should have picked up on by now.

    @Minnow I get that a lot, their reasoning is usually that they don't need to remember, you will always fix / help them.
