Ask HN: Users should go jogging before trying a new software product

2 pointsby persilj11 anni fa5 comments

My question is simple: why doesn't anyone, who have released a software product, suggest that a user should take a walk or preferably go jogging before trying to get familiar with it? After jogging mind is more ready to take in even boring information like 2-page introduction documents. It also opens up the possibility that a software product can be more complex as a user is able to comprehend better. Including few short bursts of running would prepare user's mind in a way that he/she is able to reach more of his/her thoughts, because such really wakes up the whole body (1). This also boils down to question "is it ok to say that it will be user's own fault, if he fails to grasp the idea of a product or how it can be utilized?".

(1) I think it is mostly about exercise being aerobically efficient - and what kind of reactions happens in the body because of that.

You should have gone jogging before submitting this to HN.

Have you considered telling your customers to go take a hike? Vigorous hiking can have the same mental benefits as jogging, with less impact on the knees.

I tried that, but my keyboard got all sweaty and shorted out.

Mr. persij, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
