Re: why blame the programmers??

On my team, it's become almost a joke that it's always the programmers fault. While even after seeing that its not programming, the only other fault it could be would be either electrical, communications, or user-error (like a driver). Which could all well end up being my (the programmer, electronics, and all that is digital's) fault. Maybe if our team wasn't so mechanically-inclined and more technologically-savvy, they'd understand what I do and not be so afraid of the unknown
