What's most irritating about it is that I'm nowhere near a luddite. I'm a STEM type of guy. I've coded some basic websites before but that was back in high school and I haven't used those skills much at all in the meantime. Mostly Excel has been useful to me but Excel isn't all that useful in Bitcoin. This stuff is all foreign. I've been around for a while too. In a week my tenure as a Bitcoiner will eclipse 50% of Bitcoin's existence. I'm no noob but I'm no OG either.

I feel like I’m in a pretty similar position to you. Not a dev myself but I can stumble through alot of this stuff. But a lot of it it’s not clear or obvious to me.
