There's a typo in "Example user emali".
These simple mistakes don't engender confidence in the proposal.
- elliottinvent 3y agoHuge thanks for pointing these out. I moved the spec to /docs/spec very recently and forgot to update that link on homepage – fixed now. "Emali" is a new typo for me, will fix that in the DNS record, thanks.
- susadmin 3y agoHow do syntax errors dissuade you from the proposal? Is not design separate from implementation? Is it not true that a well-designed specification, proposal, etc. can be poorly implemented?
- hiatus 3y agoIf you got a job offer that was riddled with spelling mistakes and had the wrong name, would that inspire confidence in your future place of work? It's not a huge stretch of the imagination that small, obvious issues could mean larger, more complex issues lurking.
- elliottinvent 3y agoI'd say "riddled with spelling mistakes" is a bit strong in our example (I realise you weren't claiming that about the site). I got it out early to get some feedback. The 404 spec link is a bad one (since fixed) but the typo in the DNS record is forgivable I think – very impressed anyone spotted that.
- hiatus 3y agoTo be clear, my comment was directly addressing my parent's comment of > How do syntax errors dissuade you from the proposal? Is not design separate from implementation? I would not characterize your content as "riddled with spelling mistakes" and apologize if you read if that way.
