You are underestimating users' ability to ignore non strict constraints. Also when I can, why would I not increase my compile time checking ? There are very good reasons to use Enums, you seem to just want to ignore those reasons.
- esafak 2y agoI'm not ignoring enumerations. I'm supplementing the existing options with a text field rather than shoehorning everything into an uninformative "other" value. I acknowledge your point about the user ignoring constraints.
- bilekas 2y agoInfact you're shoe horning in your agenda to enums. Maybe vectorised strings make sense for AI as your start up is working on, but we are talking different reasons and definitely different use case scenarios.
