To me, asking an engineering org if they’ve considered alternative architectures for their main engineering problem is silly at best, overconfident at worst.
- ben0x539 6y agoI think the main point of the comment was asking why they decided against it. At one point the wording mildly suggests the possibility that no one at github has thought about it: > I would love to know if something like this has been considered and why the decided against it. ... but that still sounds more like a grammatical hedge than an actual suggestion that github didn't think it through. imo it's fair to lay out why you're surprised about some decision in the hopes that someone will enlighten you, even if it can be tricky to phrase that without coming off like a "why didn't you just..." comment.
- brown9-2 6y agoSure, but also sometimes the only way to learn is to ask.
