Bikeshedding is arguing about stuff that doesn't matter (ex: color). Pointing out that something is built dangerously is not bikeshedding.


> Bikeshedding is arguing about stuff that doesn't matter

Well in many jurisdictions the size of this thing (a shed) wouldn't matter, so yes it is bikeshedding. And this thing looks like it's built well enough to be a shed you can go and sit in with a laptop, a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. The overreaction here by HN to this ancient project perhaps explains why we end up with maddeningly overly complex systems to just stick a bloody simple webpage in a website.


Municipal codes are written in blood. Little of the feedback I am seeing is negative about the trivial details.
