tl;dr which ironically is a good summary of all the bullshit on the Web.
Ages ago, I got tired of having these discussions with a certain class of programmer:
me: it really sucks that X does Y by default.
certain class: yeah, it does, but there's a switch you can set to turn that off.
me: I don't want to spend time learning how to configure X.
certain class: (puzzlement)
- nocman 4y agoJust because someone suggests a way to work around a problem doesn't mean that they aren't also annoyed by the problem. There are some problems you do not have a viable way to attack at the root, and you just have to deal with them. Often other people control the thing you would have to change, and will not be persuaded to do it your way. I understand the desire to not have to learn something just to be able to remove an annoyance, but isn't having that option better than not being able to remove the annoyance at all?
