  Meh. Treating developers and the back end gingerly results in no benefit for consumers, in fact by and large it results in in a pretty clear loss. Characterize it however you wish, as a user I'm going to go with the platform that focuses on pleasing me rather than making the lives of other users or developers easier.

    I agree with Kant here: when deciding whether an action is right, one should consider what would happen if everyone started doing it. Also, you're a dick. Congratulations.

      I'm a dick for buying products that work best for me and not other users or developers? Ok... I thought the Hacker News community was supposed to have a modicum of maturity?

        You're a dick for buying products that actively negatively affect other users and that would lead to chaos if everyone bought them, yes.

          It would lead to chaos if every device retained the IP it used on that AP previously? Yeah that sounds like hell, imagine the horror.
