- doctororange 14y agoAbsolutely. We do dev work on the side, and in those cases take our orders on browser support.
- shaggyfrog 14y agoI believe HN had a story linked a few months ago where supporting IE was specified as a separate line item in the budget, forcing their clients to really contemplate the costs (in both time & money) supporting such a broken browser family. If that's what you mean, then kudos, as I think it's a great learning moment for clients.
- rmATinnovafy 14y agoYes, I do mean that. I will support modern browsers, but legacy stuff is additional (though not that much really). I consider anything older than IE8 to be legacy. On the other hand, if I put out a product that is aimed at the enterprise market then I will support older stuff. Enterprise moves at a different pace. Story time: I once found myself working in the banking industry only to discover they used .NET 2.0. This on 2011. They also had a bunch of Win2000 machines. My job was to make a system that ran on all. Pulled it off, but it opened my eyes to how big business works.
