“Wow you’re good at computers”

“I just click everything”

“But how did you know which menu it was?”

“I just click everything”

“But then you were able to find the correct thing in the drop-down”

“I just click everything”

“How did you learn the new system so fast?”

“I just click everything”

“You must have some deep systems knowledge”

It's a source of constant frustration for my wife that I don't know how to solve *any computer problems at all* based on how she describes them, but can generally do it by clicking around randomly until I find the option that might fix it, which I have no idea what it might be called until I see it, and will *instantly* forget afterwards.

@robinhood it's amazing how far a Willingness To Click Everything will get you into an IT career

@robinhood everything I need to know about computers I learned from playing Cookie Clicker.

@robinhood this is how i got good at sex

@robinhood See also, “I googled it.”

@robinhood I used to tell people the instructions were printed on the back of my diploma.

@robinhood lol yeah most of my computer knowledge just comes from clicking on shit as a kid and going "oh ok so this is the kind of thing the View menu has"

Oh it's not in View? Well let's check the other menus around it then, it's bound to be somewhere 🤷‍♀️

@PsyChuan 99% of my career is based on having the will to click

@robinhood "Reinforcement learning (RL)" 😆

@erkhyan @robinhood but only after I clicked everything with no success

@robinhood I have been yelling this at people for over 30 years. I was a kid and "good at computers" and people kept asking me to do stuff and I was just like YOU JUST NEED TO CLICK ON THINGS. IF IT'S BROKEN, CLICK ON THINGS UNTIL IT ISN'T. IF IT DOESN'T DO THE THING YOU WANT, CLICK UNTIL IT DOES

@buherator @robinhood 🙏

@robinhood the best time to do an exhaustive DFS walk of all menus in ms office 97 is when you're 7 years old. The next best time is now.

@robinhood@yiff.life
But what IS it that you clicked?

@foone @robinhood That's it I'm changing my LinkedIn tagline to "I just click everything"

@outfrost @robinhood I'm gonna put it on my business cards
