    I’ve been in this scenario and I didn’t wait for layoffs. I left and applied my skills where shit code is not tolerated, and quality is rewarded.

    But in this hypothetical, we got this shit code not by management encouraging the right behavior, and giving time to make it right. They’re going to keep the yes men and fire the “unproductive” ones (and I know fully, adding to the pile is not, in the long run, productive, but what does the management overseeing this mess think?)

    I think the bloat is not (primarily) in the end users experience, but in the extra code that the nginx maintainers must now continue to support, test, etc on an ongoing basis, which is not core to its function as a http server and proxy.

    To me, this change goes against the Unix philosophy of simplicity, modularity, and the idea that programs should do one thing well.

    Nginx should not contain logic that is not expressly related to serving or proxying web requests. The content it serves is up to the end user.

    If we accept this change, should they also provide localized versions of all the error pages, too? I’m happy if their responsibility ends at just serving the content I provide.
