It is really tempting to cover for mistakes by pretending they never happened.
“In Supreme Court opinions, every word matters … When they’re changing the
wording of opinions, they’re basically rewriting the law.”

“It’s gone gone. A piece of paper can burn and you can still kind of get
something from it. With a hard drive or a URL, when it’s gone, there is just
zero recourse.”

The promise of the web is that Alexandria’s library might be resurrected for the
modern world. But today’s great library is being destroyed even as it is being
built. Until you lose something big on the Internet, something truly valuable,
this paradox can be difficult to understand.

“Ephemerality is built into the very architecture of the web, which was intended
to be a messaging system, not a library.”

Too ephemeral? Move towards real time content.

Modern content is sometimes actually assembled on the fly through the likes of
Ruby, Django, Next.js, etc. Not actual ‘flat’/self-enclosed pages The data may

Welcome weary traveler of the web, it looks like you've stumbled upon part of my
web of thoughts and other things! Feel free to poke around but don't expect
anything here to be remotely polished, accurate, or well-linked. This is mostly
an internal thought dump that I've decided to publish in the hopes that
something in here inspires someone or something. You can find a rough index
here.
