<p>I only skimmed the article. But my stance is, anyone that ever used cherry-pick or reverted multiple commits is impacted by clean git history. Unclean git history could make a simple 2 minute cherry-pick or revert task to a 30 mins+ job.</p>

<p>I have one of those wireless magic mouse that takes 2x AA batteries.
The optical sensor started behaving in a weird way back in 2018 I think, so I stopped using it. I wouldn't mind risking breaking it by trying to fix the sensor (cleaning the lens from the inside is probably enough), adding a rechargeable battery (and whatever circuitry that entails) and maybe even enhancing the ergonomics if it still works after that.</p>

<p>I mostly agree with the points but I hard disagree with point number 3.<p>Clean code makes the project more easily maintainable. We generally try to keep a standard in code quality (and I would say 98% of the codebase we touch is well written). We also try to schedule refactoring rounds (but that doesn't always happen because of time constraints).</p>

<p>They don't have to be static but making them dynamic might not worth the cost.<p>From a simple static page, now you need an API service, most probably connected to a DB or somehow integrated to the rest of your backend. So markdown suddenly isn't enough and you need some server-side logic.<p>For random strings, you can do this with client-side logic, which in some cases might be easier than server-side logic. But you are still moving from no-logic (static) to somewhere-logic.</p>

<p>I'm thinking if invalid characters in the examples given would be an acceptable solution.  
For DNS records this could be XML-like tags like <someprefix>.<yourdomain>.<tld><p>On one hand, it prevents blind copy-pasting but on the other hand, your example is invalid.</p>
