Because it is the right thing to do. First, you shouldn’t brake the web. Second, you shouldn’t be mean to people. Some people do stupid things (perhaps they don’t know any better), accommodating for them and helping them do the right thing, is a far better option, then to ignore and shame them.
- mbrameld 8y agoI would argue that coddling FlipKart's engineers is NOT the right thing to do. Educate them on why what they did was wrong, help them fix it, but don't punish the rest of the world for one company's mistakes. Similarly, I would argue that by relying on undefined behavior it was the FlipKart engineers breaking the web.
