If someone blindly copies, pastes, compiles, and runs a random snippet of code from the internet that is specifically described as producing weird and unexpected behavior, then they deserve the harsh lesson they're about to learn.
- andrewflnr 9y agoJust because it's a harsh, cruel world doesn't mean you should be cruel.
- nurettin 9y agoIt doesn't mean he should be cruel, it just means he is statistically more likely to be cruel.
- rcthompson 9y agoI normally have some measure of sympathy for people who blindly run code that is unexplained or under-explained (e.g. the many "curl | bash" installers). But blindly running code that is specifically called out as having weird and unexpected behavior is like driving your car right through the bright yellow "bridge out" sign that's blocking the bridge.
