No, the moment something doesn't quite meet your needs you must abandon it immediately.
Like for example I used to cycle a lot but then one day it snowed and my feet got cold and my bike got stuck in the snow, so now I will never cycle again and I just drive everywhere in a massive 6x6 7-tonne army truck, except I don't because that would be fucking idiotic.
I don't get why everyone has to be so polarised these days.
- more_corn 4y agoI expect the author of the article is polarized due to the pain inflicted by the bug, the unreasonable design decision that led to it (seems like the bug exists by design) and the fact that there’s not really a workaround that would prevent the problem from happening again. I’d personally like to see a fix, but my thinking might be different if I’d gone through what sounds like several days of downtime that could have been avoided.
