> A flathead screwdriver should bend like rubber if someone tries to use it as a prybar.

While I admire his design goals, people will just work around it in a pinch by adding a "comment" or "_comment" or "_comment_${random_uuid}", simply because they want to do the job they need.

If your screwdriver bends like a rubber when prying, damn it, I'll just put a screw next to it, so it thinks it is used for driving screws and thus behaves correctly.





And we wonder why people are calling for licensed professional software engineers.
