Big picture, I'm not you and you're not me so I shouldn't treat you in ways that I would want to be treated and you shouldn't treat me in ways that you want to be treated.

I should treat you how you want to be treated and you should treat me how I want to be treated. That's the real Golden Rule. If we tailor our interactions to each individual in loving ways to meet them where they are, that's how to abide the Golden Rule.

That said, it's great that you think through what notifications you would find helpful.

I would like to propose that it would be even more Golden Rule compliant to "normie test" your stuff. Have normies try to use what you build. Provide any necessary hardware and step by step instructions they would need in order to successfully set up and use what you have developed. Do this with multiple normies.

I don't think devs do this. I would guess that most devs, if they normie test their stuff at all, will only ask their quasi-dev friends who are in no way normies to test their work. I think most devs are out of touch with normie computer abilities and don't care to bridge that gap.
