That must help a lot. But often, when I am quietly cursing them, I just want to make them shadow me for a day to see, and feel, the impact of their ridiculous decisions.

They’re not paying attention, then. If they used it for a week, they’d probably just write off any problems as “eh, that’s how it’s designed.”
Some folks just don’t get that there’s more to writing software than the code. The human element is super important.
