I wrote an app for my wife and it was really sad watching her just fumble past bugs instead of pointing them out when I was literally watching over her shoulder to get feedback on what needed fixed. I had to tell her several times, “No, don’t just keep reloading. What’s wrong?” Like we’ve all been trained so hard to accept shitty software that even when I could fix stuff easily I know people are just passively accepting the bugs.

One of my junior devs was having trouble with a bug in an internally developed tool, apparently for weeks before I saw her struggling with it over her shoulder - it was a 5 minute fix, I hope I made it clear to her: speak up when something's wrong - this 5 minute fix has cost you many hours already because you never told me you were having a problem.
