I don't think it was constructive to assume that you know the business impact of him modifying his application. He didn't ask you for your opinion on if his architecture was sound. He asked how to solve a problem and all you did was try to make him feel dumb. Your response was weak and didn't answer his question. I remember when this forum was invaluable... not anymore.

If you have similar critique on anything made in the past couple of year, then sure, we'll cop it on the chin and do better.
But it seems a little unfair to judge the current team on a post made 6 years ago?
You are correct...

Your point is valid. I used to live on this site and just didn't like a question not being answered and what seemed to be a remark that was unnecessary. But I do agree with your reaction. My bad. And finally... I guess it was dumb to respond at all after that much time had passed. I should have paid more attention to the date.
