- Tainnor 5y agoI perfectly understand that reasoning. And if you're working for an agency and have to deliver a solution that nobody will maintain for 5 years and then some people who weren't part of the original team will have to pick it up again... then yeah, that approach might make sense. But meanwhile, I think there are enough people who don't mind the occasional backwards incompatibility if it means finding better ways to write code now.
