still I'd code something to manage it all if I were you (and had the possibility to do so ofc)

You're continuing the exact problem I described. Quit. Dictating. To. Me. How. My. Code. Should. Work.

"Best practice" is a fucking guideline. You can't bilndly apply it to every single situation and expect it to work all the time. There's always exceptions and nuance that must be accounted for, and the people that refuse to ackowledge that are fools.

Go find someone else to gaslught, jackass.
