Accidentally Load Bearing
This (the unimportant stud becoming load bearing later on) makes sense, but in my experience it’s kind of a sign of lazy design. When making software at least, you know when you’re trying to use a decorative stud to hold up part of your house, and choosing to do it anyway instead of building some new better structure does make for a pretty sad dev team later on<p>This is to say —- I agree with the article, but much nicer is to work at a place where you don’t expect to make this particular discovery very often, hah
