Sometimes when other devs ask me to explain something in the specs I cannot make into smaller words (example: javadoc says throws <error name> when x <= y. I was asked to explain 'what all this psuedocode means'), or their code horrifies me, I ask my mother if she knows what it is doing.... just as a 'wtf am I missing' check.

She still finds it amazing when we text her a gif and asks for help when she 'loses' her icons on her phone, but she will still ask what is wrong with some of these people.

    If I'm building anything I usually ask non-tech people to validate the design/goals, too. It's easy to get boxed into the engineering mindset and the fallacy that the stuff is simple and obvious for everyone.
