... We've shoehorned some of those features in there, and that causes issues.
The bane of developers and their system, shoehorning. I have learned to dislike this process over the years. But a developer cannot stop it from happening. We cannot even slow it down. Many think it is cheap and easy but there is a cost somewhere in the process where others or you yourself will have to pay.
After years of use and resurfacing or shoehorning, systems start to show the results of the series of compromises that have been made. Like using a pair of pliers as a hammer you are going to get hurt before it is over, and you had best watch out for it will in fact be wrong.
Thanks Steve! You helped me get off a late afternoon vent 🙂
