- Tanoc 2y agoSomebody who expected to be able to hook more into it, or intentionally left that many steps to allow someone else to hook into it. I've seen things like this where the intended result is that you can modify one parent launcher so others can call child launchers without modifying them, only adding more of them. Planning too broadly or too far ahead can amusingly be it's own form of incompetence.
- londons_explore 2y agoThing is, that's very "sysadmin-y". A developer would typically just want their exe file be called directly, and if they need to hook more things into the startup process, they'll write more code into the start of int main()
