This has got to be a German thing. I’m working with some German software engineers who are providing the hardware and it’s onboard software for some industrial shit at my work. They’re all constantly dropping these super hot takes as absolute truths, and refuse to listen to anyone who pushes back. Once you realize that, you can start a conversation by shit talking the idea the people pushing back brought up and suss out the real motivations behind their design decisions. Often times those decisions might make sense in isolation, but won’t work in our environment.

It takes tricking the Germans in to thinking you completely agree with them, then just spontaneously discovered a blocking issue, for them to change anything. It’s ridiculous.

Reading through your post gave me very similar vibes. It’s like they have a cultural inability to comprehend that someone could be in a situation that they haven’t already thought of. Like an absolute zero chance of that ever happening, under any circumstance, anywhere, ever. It’s amusing until you’re trying to convince someone that while it’s a good thing they only have their web server listening on a localhost socket, they still need to sanitize user input because the person sitting in front of the machine with a keyboard plugged in can submit any fucking data they want, and there’s a massive SQLi issue, like zero input sanitization and yall refuse to use parameterized queries for some reason.
