Does anyone else judge the difficulty of a problem by how many tabs you close once you've solved it?

Y'know, like Sherlock Holmes' "Three pipe problem" - "This was a six tab problem" or the like.

@munin No, I don't.

I used to, mind.

I'd motherfucking /like/ to.

But no, I don't, BECAUSE MOTHERFUCKING CHROME DOESN'T HAVE ANY MOTHERFUCKING WAY TO MOTHERFUCKING MANAGE MOTHERFUCKING TABS. AND ITS DRIVING ME MOTHERFUCKING NUTS.

Sorry.

I feel slightly better now.

But seriously. I've got a post-it on my desk lamp, dated 15 April, reading "close tabs". That's my message to myself to try to whittle down the tab list on my Chrome/Android instance. Fat lot of good that.

@munin So, we might ask, how good are overall user skills?

An OECD survey finds they are /abysmally/ bad. Over half the population, and over 2/3 in most surveyed industrialised countries, have poor, "below poor", *** or no computer skills at all. ***

This is on a scale where only 5-8% of users have "advanced" skills. Such as ... using a wordprocessor's search-and-replace feature.

Programmers & sysadmins? 0.1%.
