Why Users "Hate" Software Developers (And What We Can Actually Do About It)

That support ticket saying "I give up" isn't about bad code—it's about broken trust. In this episode, we uncover why users feel abandoned by the very people meant to help them, and share four proven strategies that transform frustrated users into genuine collaborators.

What you'll learn:

• Why technically perfect features become user nightmares (the Maria story that changed everything)
• How to implement the 24-hour response protocol that rebuilds trust immediately
• The "Grandparent Test" that eliminates confusing interfaces before they ship
• Why watching real users work for 2 hours fixes more problems than 6 months of planning
• The language crimes we commit daily (and the simple fixes that make users feel respected)
• Real examples of teams who turned their angriest users into their biggest advocates

Whether you're a developer wondering why users seem hostile, a product manager dealing with mounting complaints, or a team lead trying to bridge the developer-user divide, this episode provides actionable strategies that change everything—starting with your next support ticket.
