This is a terrible idea and I encourage you to consider the slipperiness of this slope
- skrebbel 9y agoPragmatism is on a slipperly slope almost by definition.
- zbentley 9y agoThat is a very concise way of saying something I've struggled to articulate well in the past. Sometimes stuff like this is a horrible idea. Sometimes you need it. If you lock out the entirety of the "sometimes you need it" use cases as "too dangerous if applied en masse", you cripple yourself. Remember: not everyone has the time to do it right (the time they have might be measured in minutes or seconds before a push or bugfix), or the wherewithal or ability to even learn how. You can lament that reality if you like, but tools that accept it will be useful anyway.
