As a marketer and coder, I appreciate those loopholes to make sh*t work (I used to do it all of the time, and was pretty much the basis I was hired on at my previous job) :) although I would concede giving anyone the option if they don't have tech experience is a nightmare waiting to happen.
- hohenheim 9y ago"To make shit work", that is where the devil is. In the same line as, "how hard could it be". Having a tunnel vision to get something fixed right now with no regards to what will happen in the future. How the code will be maintained. Who will maintain it, and such. As you might appreciate the "loop-hole", I'm sure there are many developers whom hate it because they have to fix your "fix" in the future.
- brailsafe 9y agoYou bring up an interesting tangent that I'll speak to. As a marketer who needs to get things done, I feel you. At this organization, this was in the general interest of all of the middle managers as well. This encouraged more and more off the shelf "solutions" to be jammed in, and misorganization of the core team development. I was a contractor here, and the core code base was crammed with bandage quick fixes to the point where it was actually suggested to use Google tag manager to to change code on the fly for other third-party scripts.
