Overall, IMO it is much ado about nothing. Some watch this as "SW guys sticking to the know-it-alls HW guys" as the damn LED is in fact working with no lame resistors. Others watch this as "SW guy endangers beginners by proposing risky methods of blowing up their beloved RPi" as the IO may be short lived. And a great deal watch this as "one more opportunity to clap back at one person that worked for a company that I hate and despise".

In all my years on the internet, I've never seen this kind of thing happen.

I think you forgot the /s. Although is implied.

Exactly.

A fact that seems to have escaped people here, due to being hyper-obsessed over his electronics theory... he's not claiming that this is an electronics tutorial - the LED is merely a means to and end, where that end is observing pin state.

Also, SINCE it's not an electronics tutorial, maybe he's wise enough to have a pre-leaded LED with inbuilt dropper resistor... but then, I suppose looking at it from a logical perspective like this, doesn't give people the fury they so desire to deride him.

He's no idiot. Only true idiots automatically assume all others are idiots.

That LED looks suspiciously like some I got via Amazon, an assortment of various colors, all with a series resistor buried under the heat-shrink.

Regardless, I can't believe (well, actually I can) that this conversation has gone on for so long.  It's just about a software guy not using a series resistor!!!  Or is it?
