When to Label 1.5

In this subpage, we're getting into the weeds of when to label. Like, seriously, who needs subtlety, anyway?

When the user is 3 years old, label everything. Like, literally everything.

When the user is a teenager, label nothing, but make sure to make them feel like they know what you're doing.

When the user is a grown adult, label things that are actually important, but only after they've asked 5 questions.

And when the user is a programmer, just label everything with comments, but make them so dense and cryptic that they're useless to anyone else.

That's when to label in a nutshell.
