When my analytics still tell me I have customers accessing my site from internet explorer 9 and 10, I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do. I can tell them to upgrade all I want, that doesn't mean it's going to happen.
- overcast 10y agoWell, that appears to be what the rest of major organizations are doing. Their techs will literally just tell us too bad. Upgrade or use a different browser, and I agree. Progress.
- debaserab2 10y agoWhen you're in a growing startup trying to get as many customers as you can, slamming the door on them with an avoidable technical issue isn't progress.
- overcast 10y agoI would argue a growing startup shouldn't worry about supporting 2% of the user base. You're needlessly allocating resources, and adding additional overhead for a tiny fraction of probably non paying customers. I really believe the era of having to worry about IE8/9 is over. https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php
- debaserab2 10y agoYeah... if you look at global stats and extrapolate to your own company you're doing yourself (and your company a disservice). It completely depends on what you're selling and who your customers are. Sure, okay, I'll tell my CEO that 2% of our customers just don't matter, becuase - yanno, the progress of the internet needs to happen. Or I could just use jQuery from the start and not think about this problem again.
