Casual conversation I had with a top surgeon trying to login to an account:

me: It's case sensitive - you need a capital letter.

him: How do I do that?

me: Hold down the shift key.

him: Where's that?

Haha! I’m not surprised :)

Everyone has to admit there's a lot of programming minutiae that could and should be thrown overboard.

If you show your language / app / webpage to someone and they ask "Why is X preventing me from doing work?", it would behoove all of us to honestly ask ourselves "Is X important enough that we should keep it?"

Otherwise, we end up with 10,000 gotchas and only someone who studies for 2 years can use things. And I'd personally much rather that surgeon be studying medicine for those 2 years!
