Michal Bryxí in Elk: "I just had a weirdly sobering exchange..."

I just had a weirdly sobering exchange with a brilliant engineer and a manager. I fleshed out a proposal for a feature request on 3rd party products, including a test case. Both of them, independently, claimed that it's already implemented. Completely ignoring:

- The test case
- Any empathy towards the users and practical UX of existing solutions
- Availability of partial implementation (premium only)
- Any slightly deeper testing

Neither of them provided a screenshot, a video, simple description of 3 steps how does the functionality work for them nor a theory why it does not work for me (the premium case). Just "works for me".

And that made me think that having this ... "feeling" for things is not given.

Verbatim of my post. Let me know if you have the same issue:
