Apparently, “sometimes you don’t have a choice” is a foreign language.

— Hey, so you know how we have this requirement, which came about after years of dealing with and understanding a problem and the available solutions?

— Yes, what about it?

— Well, a random commenter on Hacker News, which has zero context of the problem, has suggested we use a method we already found inadequate for our specific use case.

— Oh wow, in that case let’s replace the whole system right now.

I think people are really looking for some examples of scenarios where this might be a requirement and your time might be better spent providing one vs. fighting with them. Maybe something like an airgapped gov network with very specific approved and audited software?
