From one engineer to another: I'm sorry you keep having to deal with people who haven't spent a single minute working on this problem second-guessing your work.

From one engineer to another: I'm sorry you keep having to deal with people who haven't spent a single minute working on this problem second-guessing your work. I get the same thing regularly and it can be very frustrating.
As you noted: if the solution were so trivial it would have been done and shipped already.
- coldpie 6y agoHahaha! Nah, it's fine. Their suggestion was a good one; like I said, we did consider doing it. It's fun to talk about this stuff here on HN because the discussion is usually sensible. You should see the dumb crap they say on Reddit.
