alt Hacker NewsReminds me of a codebase that was littered with SQL injection opportunities because doing it right would have been "premature optimization" since it was "just" a research spike and not customer facing. Guess what happened when it got promoted to a customer facing product?

tbf that's not their fault, as long as they were open about the flaws. Business should not have promoted it to a customer facing product. That's just org failure.

Now that's an stupid argument. I'm with you. Removing SQL injection has little if anything to do with performance, so it is not an optimization. I guess we will get more of this with the vibe coding craze.
