X's new hand gesture feature leaves users wondering who's pointing
X's new hand gesture feature raises a simple question: whose hand is that, and why is it pointing at me? The ambiguity feels less like innovation and more like a UI oversight. If you're frustrated by unclear design choices, you're not alone, just like those wrestling with outdated Excel instructions that block progress.

The role now leans heavily on software engineering, which changes what "entry-level" means.
