We now have three real-world counter examples just in this thread. And the hacker news crowd is relatively sophisticated technically--even for programmers in general.
"It isn't a problem for me, therefore it isn't a problem for anyone." just isn't a good way to reason about problems like this.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoThe important issue is which solution is the best given the trade offs. Acceptance of nothing less than a flawless one is not a path forward.
- compiler-guy 8y agoSold! As long as you admit that there is a problem and tradeoffs, then I'm fine with where this conversation is ending.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoSure, I'd never say a solution to a non-trivial issue was flawless. However, "a problem" is not very granular. I'd rather count this one in terms of centiproblems or milliproblems.
