alt Hacker NewsUsers stick around on inertia until a failure costs them money or face. A leaked map file won't sink a tool on its own, but it does strip away the story that you can ship sloppy JS build output into prod and still ask people to trust your security model.
'It works' is a low bar. If that's the bar you set you are one bad incident away from finding out who stayed for the product and who stayed because switching felt annoying.
“It works and it’s doing what it’s supposed to do” encompasses the idea that it’s also not doing what it’s not supposed to do.
Also “one bad incident away” never works in practice. The last two decades have shown how people will use the tools that get the job done no matter what kinda privacy leaks, destructive things they have done to the user.
