When a company makes it impossible to correct their stupidity, it's a malicious act. The behavior speaks loud and clear: "We don't care what damage we do to developers or users. And we don't want to hear about it."

replyOr it's being spread by the malicious actors, like "money doesn't buy happiness".
replyBut it doesn't!!! It only buys things that make happy. See? Big difference! /s
replyIt's a decent rule for when one of your close friends breaks your favorite mug. Not so much for complete strangers, not to mention faceless mega-corporations, making choices to fuck you over.
replyThe guise of a harmless mistake has worn so thin and is so overused by tech companies that I now only see deliberate intent.
