That happened to me. All I had to do is patch windows server. I didn't have to change or even recompile my code.
I know is hard to believe it's that simple, but it is.
- dsr_ 8y agoSo all you had to do was: 1. Know what to do. 2. Have approval to do it. 3. Do it. ... which is to say, maintenance. The fact that maintenance is simple and/or easy doesn't mean it happens by itself.
- collinmanderson 8y ago> The fact that maintenance is simple and/or easy doesn't mean it happens by itself. Yes, there will always be _some_ maintenance. The point is it should be as simple and easy as possible.
- dsr_ 8y agoI'm telling you that the entire infrastructure of the world is held back by companies who don't do simple maintenance, and your response is to tell me it should be easy to do maintenance. Someone isn't getting the point, and I don't think I can make it any clearer.
- collinmanderson 8y agoAre you saying it's better if maintenance requires a lot of work, to encourage people to do more maintenance? If we made things harder to upgrade would that encourage more people to upgrade?
- collinmanderson 8y agoOr is your point that we're held back by people who don't do simple maintenance, and trying to make maintenance simpler, while it might help, won't solve 100% of the problem.
