I disagree. Didactic code doesn't have to be complete, just clear enough to teach. Nor the teacher is not responsible for lazy students.
It's lazy and quite ignorant to criticize teaching material because it doesn't cover all possible corner cases, and because it doesn't account for a reader that just wants to copy the code without understanding it.
- charcircuit 3y agoThere is a difference between not handling a corner case and having a security vulnerability. People are lazy and they will copy and paste without thinking.
