In various software there are actions you cannot undo. Most prominent, for me, is deleting a worksheet in Excel – meanwhile in Google Sheets it’s perfectly able to restore a deleted sheet.
In software engineering terms, why do such actions exist? Why is it impossible to undo these actions?
Thanks.
In: Technology
From a user’s point of view, everything should be undoable.
From a programmer’s point of view, every moment spent making something undoable is time taken away from making something else doable.
Life is compromise…
But the user’s point of view is the correct one.
