The "poor idea" in the 90s was that developers were going to read specifications. Sun Micro specially suffered from this. Thus the "clusterfuck" of JRE, for example, offered something called a Security Manager, but it was "insane" to think commodity IT developers would use it ("wat's dat!?")
- qalmakka 5y agoThe fact that people don't read or use your specifications should ring a bell in someone's ears. I shouldn't have to care about the Security Manager unless I'm writing an app that might do stuff that covers its use cases. It makes no sense that JNDI is usable and loadable by Minecraft, it's just a dangerous API.
