What a pointless rant. Things evolve, even norms and specs.
There's a reason why URNs are not used in the code, there are not enough by themselves, if you need use URIs.
There's a reason people don't use every status code in every webapps. It's a waste of time, better spent elsewhere.
Most webapps uses more then GET.
Etc. Anyway, HTML is not broken, it's used everywhere by billions of users every seconds.
- TheSwordsman 12y agoAgreed. This guy needs to take a break from the Internet for a few years.
- einrealist 12y agoIndeed. It is the internet where everybody can write about something, even if he/she is (mostly) wrong. And posting it on HN or Reddit does not make it a better blog entry.
- gtramont 12y agoPerhaps if people understood better the technology that allows their business to operate, they wouldn't waste time versioning APIs and having to re-write clients (web, mobile...) every time the server changes something!
- xsace 12y agoYou can't expect everyone to master everything. It's like ranting about how the whole classroom haven't got A+. It's pointless ultimately. The real question is how can we improve a protocol so it's better used by most people. Hence why it's evolving. Nothing should be set in stone forever and then expect everyone to comply to it or die.
