Basic Troubleshooting and the Human Brain
By Paul | February 25, 2009
OK, Just a minor vent here. I sent a client a link to a web page I had built for them today in an email. Client to remain nameless. The link in the email did not work for them, sent back an odd error message. I pulled up the original email and I cut and pasted the link into my browser and the link worked fine. I went back to the original email, studies the link and noticed that the link in the email was also the end of the sentence so like all writers with brain cell one still firing, I had dropped in the period, the period through off the browser.
My question is, are web developers the only ones who will, at least minimally, troubleshoot a link by cutting and pasting it into the browser. I mean really, the rest of the world just clicks and if it doesn’t work gives no thought to why. It seems inefficient and typical of this business professional, that I see a lot of, where they roar through their day with the illusion of competence and managing gravitas, and you know full well they couldn’t begin to pick up a mouse and actually do the work.
Here’s to people who can actually do the work, we have value!
