Do you think that this workflow is some divine commandment? Developers like him create these. He should totally get some of the blame.
Yeah I'm sure he, alone, is responsible for his company's practices, and isn't just a dude trying to make a paycheck.
I never said he alone did it. I'm sure he'll be happy to share credit for any great product his company makes. Why not take some of the blame too? (I'm not sure if he does think that way though. He hasn't replied since. I'm just replying to other people.)
Why should he take the blame for something he likely has no influence over? That's like blaming the Sandwich Artist because you don't like Subway's bread; he just makes the sandwiches, he doesn't design the recipe.
Honestly, I'd be fine and understand that he cannot but be complicit in this due to powers beyond his reach. I'd eat my words if he says that he doesn't like it, but has to comply. But he seems like he's pretty happy with it. (Again, from that one comment.) I will blame the sandwich artist if he defends shitty sandwiches. Because one has to be responsible for their own work. They're free to not give a fuck about what anyone thinks. But they are complicit.
I'm happy to reply. I don't think I'm complicit to anything else but an inconsequential business decision and I don't care one way or the other about it. I used to use Firefox, but I stopped because some apps were broken on Firefox. I'm not a soldier for any browser im a pragmatic user.
