My first "real" job out of college was database reporting at my local hospital that used Epic. I was young and starry-eyed, but I remember sitting at these Epic trainings and using the software. I knew something must have gotten lost in translation during development, because the software was absolutely a mess of confusing menus and screens. After all, I was a budding software developer with absolute computer literacy, if I didn't get it, who would?!

I remember thinking that there was no way self respecting developers would allow this to happen, but I was so naive!
