Before I retired, I had a 41-year career in software, first programming

for a military software project that eventually cost about $400,000,000.
I was called out of the shower (at home, getting ready for bed) to take
a phone call from a satellite launch facility to explain how to use the
command and control software for a space satellite that was within a
hour of launch. I taught end-users about the mathematics underlying
their software. I proved that a new software package failed to
implement the customer's requirements, delaying deployment about 6
months while the package was rewritten.
I do not need or want some developer who was not yet born when I started
my career imposing unwanted protection on me.
Very impressive. So why is this protection "unwanted"?
In my admittedly lesser experience, most users prefer safety over risk,
other things being equal.
