  I’m assuming part of it is because you’re a bad teacher as well.

  Just going off of my life experience, I notice the vast majority of people are bad at teaching and then blame the pupil for their incompetence.

    I’m not a teacher.

      Yeah, but you were still in a teaching position.

      You probably did a bad job because you’re not skilled in teaching. That’s what I meant by saying you’re a bad teacher.

      I could’ve said you’re “bad at teaching” and that may have made things clearer for you.

        No, I was in a meeting with a supposedly technical person.

        I’ve been in the industry for a while, and I’ve even mentored people. These gaps in basic computer knowledge are new and they’re also not my problem. I was not this person’s mentor or supposed to be teaching them anything.

  Anyone can understand a directory tree. Not everyone is smart enough to explain it.

    They were designing functionality that contained directory trees and didn’t understand directory trees. How is it my problem that this person is not qualified to do their own job?

      If they designed a directory tree without knowing what a directory tree is, it sounds like they know what a directory tree is, they just don’t know the word, and you can’t explain the word properly.

        They didn’t “design a directory tree” either. They were designing screens for a thing that sits on top of a directory tree, and they didn’t understand the underlying concept.

        It was likely because they’re used to the abstraction that iPhones and iPads provide, where the underlying directory structures are largely hidden from users.
