Kitsap is no man's land. I live a few blocks from a light rail stop so that's pretty nice but it only goes so many places

for evidence there was an episode in season 1 (the hbag-makes-a-webapp saga) with half a dozen posts about failing to open a file, iirc doing the relative path incorrectly.

I teach coding to junior high students and this is 100% of a thing. The computers they use have all abstracted away things like directories so they never see them. Telling 14 year olds that "its' like nested file folders" is like speaking an alien language. I've started using a metaphor of "locating a small thing in your house from orbit." First you go to North American continent, then you go the USA, then you go to California, then you go to Fresno, OH NO you're in the wrong place! go back up to California, go to SF, go to your house, go to your room, go to your drawers, go to the top drawer, then the thing you want is there.

My wife teaches a science/research summer camp which involves basic analyses that can't be performed by Google Sheets (because its number crunching features are too neutered in comparison to Excel/Calc) and getting kids to understand "open the file", "well where is the file?", "do you know what folder you've been using?" is a whole Thing. It's been a shock to hear about.
