> Does one have to "defend" and "explain" that every time? That's not my point. If your colleague is building Splunk infrastructure on Windows, and you tell him: "best practice is not to do it on Windows", they learned nothing. If you tell them "it's fine, but fine-grained control, observability, permission and logging framework, tooling, they're all minus compared to being on +nix", at least they know why, and they learned how to make an informed decision in the future, as well as how to push back against their managers when they'll insist to do it. > There is such a thing as best practice (no capitalization) whether one admits it or not. I admit it. My main problem is that a large portion of the time I'll see people not get why it's a best practice. And that is a problem.
