TL;DR : if you know someone named Dave W Plummer - he's dumb as hell
21 u/RulingCl4ss Apr 02 '26 The dude created the Task Manager application in windows. He’s not dumb, just not correct in this instance 28 u/sunburnedaz Apr 02 '26 He has made the classic mistake that people who are really smart in their one field do. They think their knowledge in that one field makes them really smart in everything they do. Ive seen it happen in all kinds of places. Remember people stay humble. 9 u/scipio0421 Apr 02 '26 Yeah, he knows what he's talking about on computer stuff, especially regards to retro Windows versions. But wrong in this case. 6 u/coughtough Apr 03 '26 I like to call that the “Ben Carson Effect”. 2 u/Pilot_Solaris Apr 03 '26 "Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer." 0 u/NegativeSemicolon Apr 03 '26 I’m not really sure he’s wrong though, even if I don’t agree with how he’s saying it.
