Hey, everybody has to make tradeoffs, and it's certainly conceivable that the margins of disability don't matter to you, or that your phone support is your non-visual UA, or even that you don't care about search.
That's only half the contents of my comment, though, the rest is about engineering benefits. Perhaps you don't care about those either?

What? JavaScript fantastically useful, but it's a vulnerability surface, not a security feature.
Maybe you meant to say HTTPS/TLS? Because if you meant to use JS as a proxy for TLS support, oh, man, I have some bad news for you. Both about security and about the relative utility of engineering around proxy tests vs engineering around tests for specific feature support.

I'd love to know the name of the company. Don't worry, I won't try to get you in trouble or anything, it's just clear that there's opportunities to rise well above one's competence there.

- wwweston 7y agoYour criticism is at least as apt as mine. OTOH, if someone's going to do a drive-by comment in a discussion where they lean heavily on the authority of a management position at a high-profile company, and then proceed to speak as if they don't understand how the area they interact with intersects with security and haven't thoughtfully engaged with the comment they're responding to, then I'm not really sure it's out of line to suggest that whatever authority they've been given has been questionably allocated.
