Its true, though. The number of clients that go silent when I ask what operating system they are running is staggering.

This is one of your primary tools for work, people. I feel it's like a painter not knowing what different brushes are for, or a wood worker trying to plane a board with a sander. A professional should have a more than passing knowledge about how to use and maintain their tools. I'll die on that hill.

    Or ignoring the brand of the car you drive everyday. You don't need to know how it works, just know enough to operate it safely.

    I was just taking a walk through busy streets, and thought about how I've heard of unbranded high-quality clothes and tech for people that have money but no desire to see advertisement in their house, much less be a walking advert โ€” but I've never heard of unbranded cars. All the pricey car marques display their logos eagerly, and especially the โ€˜executiveโ€™ cars' logos are larger than others'.

    In fact, it's with really odd cars like retro-styled ones or obscure limited-production outfits, that I have to google as to what the hell I'm looking at. E.g. Morgan has their hood logo looking into the sky, might as well not be there at all.
