Most of Dylan's talks are good, but I liked this one in particular due to it talking about such a relatively old technology and how we've gotten used to some arbetary rules that aren't in the spec. I feel like it does say that we should be careful with the rules we put in place for things like protocols, since sometimes tougher constraints lead to a less ambiguous experience for users and maintainers.
I've watched the whole thing and it's an eye opener. I've got now a greater respect for email.
Viva la federatiom!
This was a funny talk wasn't it! Any others of his you'd recommend?
Think I posted this with the short code, so Limmy didn't match the cross post, but here are a couple more old comments here too:
I should open a ticket about fuzzy domain matching for cross posts on Lemmy. Should be useful for other things like stack overflow or other social media links.
Oops! Yep, I didn't see it... fuzzy matching of reposts would be pretty good yes.
It's not a Dylan Beattie talk, but "Stop Writing Dead Programs" by Jack Rusher is about the most meaningfully informative programming talk I've ever seen in my life, so if you like programming talks, you might like that one.
