What is this reasoning?
If you know the right way and wrong way to build a bridge, you'd build it wrong, because it makes no difference?
- di4na 10y agoThe other way around. If you can get out with doing it the wrong way, why even care about there being a good way ?
- falsedan 10y agoMore like, if you know English and Latin, why not blog in Latin, since it makes no difference to your ability to enjoy your posts.
- user5994461 10y agoSo, the question that makes the difference should whether he writes blog for himself or for his readers? [replace "blog" by "code"]
- falsedan 10y agoAnyone can read their blog! Since anyone can learn Latin, if they feel like it. (Yes, I know I'm representing a terrible argument.)
- flukus 10y agoIt's a lack of reasoning, if it's not causing any issue's why change? The rest of us write good code because we're to dumb to read bad code.
- guitarbill 10y agoNo, the reasoning is why build it to handle 600% specified load (and higher cost) if 150% specified load is sufficient? (Not that there aren't good reasons to do this. Especially for public infrastructure which might be around for a shockingly large time. But predicting future usage is very difficult. For a small start-up, it's fair to err on the side of leaner/fix-it later IMO)
