> Yeah I can work with raw terminals because I don't make silly mistakes.
This attitude will cost you dearly and is exactly the difference between being a responsible educator and someone who probably should pause to ask themselves if they are on the right track.
You are setting a bad example and many thousands of people will follow in your tracks adopting your very unsafe practices as though that's the way to do it. Some of them will end up hurt.
It pretty much validates my earlier assessment but I'm actually a bit surprised that you would come out to make it so obvious.
> Those balance wires were probably a rapid prototype pack where I was testing something.
Yes, but that's not what matters here. What matters here is that people see you work and believe that's the way it's done. With authority comes responsibility.
> And wow you're so dramatic about the balance wires why don't you criticize the companies that offer their pack configurations in ways that you complain about?
That's whataboutism. We're discussing you, not some company. These tricks don't really work on HN.
> There are many companies that throw these packs together and sell them to unsuspecting people, and you are giving me a hard time when making a quick pack to educate or test something?
Yes, I'm giving you a hard time because you are at the same time claiming to be educating and you are advocating unsafe practices while doing so.
> Give me a break
Unlikely, and after this comment far less so.
But thank you for clearing up any ambiguity about where your feeling about responsibility lies.
