My programmer instinct here is - if the regulations have a problem, let profit fail to be made.
Fail early, fail hard, then go fix it. Don't go off operating in an undefined state.
- lmm 11y agoI think anyone who has programmed for a medium- or large-sized organization will be familiar with the experience of getting a stupid technical directive from above (e.g. "this part must be XML") and treating it as an obstruction to be worked around (while technically abiding by the letter of it). It's not an undefined state, it's just a case where the rule is unhelpful.
