      Yep. Imagine blaming cashiers because something is weird about the store layout.

      Or blaming the server because the restaurant seating is uncomfortable.

          Yep.

          It’s true you can get replaced with another developer, but it’s still the role that codes what goes into the page. Or what, do you think a “one month womb” project manager let alone a CEO can do that?

            Ultimately the stakeholders make the final call that’s always how it goes in the real world.

            If they get some idea that people are “stealing pictures” from the site this is what they will want. They didn’t reason themselves into that position a Dev can’t reason them out.

            I’ve actually had stakeholders say we shouldn’t use JavaScript because people can see and steal our code by opening dev tools. Thankfully that was shot down but this is totally real.

              Please give me those shareholders, they sound like at least somewhat sensible people.

        True, just like how a cashier also gets the final say in what kinds of products are sold in the store.
