For me the main point is: *There’s a toxic individualism to all this that requires people to fend for themselves and shames them if they don’t so a perfect job at it.*

There are complex things that need to be complex no matter what. Important thing is not to call people stupid and blame them if they don’t get right away something that is obvious for you.

Annoying part or the other part of the problem is that there are people who disregard the complexity and would like to be an “audio engineer” and they believe that if only you explain them what buttons do, they can do your job.

There is a wall of knowledge one has to pass through to become an audio engineer or software engineer or else, it is not just clicking the right buttons or typing something on the keyboard.

One nowadays can get all the materials and have to learn on their own - but bashing newcomers should not be tolerated.
