Architect: you know, I just feel like there should be a way to solve this in a proper way Engineer (thinking): (No, you idiot, there isn't, because it's broken! I told you, all options have been tried, and this was the least painful way of doing it. Yes, it's not the ideal solution, but there's no other way, unless the upstream vendor decides to fix the issue on their end!) Engineer: thanks, I'll look into it :)
