> So we should... preserve this exploit (since without the answers being in the HTML, said friend won't have reason to point it out) forever and let people cheat, so we get more web developers? What exactly are you saying?
One man's exploit is another mans feature. But more directly, no I'm not saying either of those things. I'm saying that user hostile design, like preventing the user from being able to do something they otherwise could is what causes people to hate computers. In this case, it's better to fix the problem [someone including answers within the test they're sending to the client] instead of breaking a feature so that someone can keep doing something stupid.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoRight. It's prioritizing the wrong thing. Fix what's broken, don't break something else to match.
