I guess maybe not everyone will agree with this, but I believe there are limits to what a person can be learn.

So, when techies ask people to learn arbitrary tech mumbo-jumbo, they have implicitly decided that this tech thing is more important than whatever else they'll lose/skip/forget to make room for it.

Making tech easy for people is respecting the fact that they may have other priorities in life.

@HerraBRE yup. so much of being successful when young in tech is having patience to learn tons of esoterica. It should be easier to learn the basics and deliver adequate projects with less of that.
