I think it's on a case by case basis but having help desk ppl help you out and opening powershell and noodling without any concept of problem solving made me make this face once.

It probably goes both ways, I'm a dev and I assembled computers at 12 yo so I believe I have a lot of experience and knowledge when it comes to hardware. I've also written code for embedded platforms.

IT people in my pov can really come across as enthusiast consumers when it comes to their hardware knowledge.

"did you guys hear Nvidia has the new [marketing term] wow!" . Have you ever thought about what [marketing term] actually does past just reading the marketing announcement?

At the same time I swear to God devs who use macs have no idea how computers work at all and I mean EXCLUDING their skill as a dev. I've had them screen share to see what I imagine is a baby's first day on a computer.

To close this rant: probably goes both ways
