> The real web is built on links. Hyper ones, in fact. Links you can share on your website. Links you can send to your mates
It BOGGLES MY MIND how even at companies that are built with incredibly advanced technology practices, people still build tools that don't have hyperlinks to either:
- other related tools (e.g. alerting system to config system)
- documentation or other useful information
In fact, "yeah, it uses this technology from the 1990s that you may have heard of: hyperlinks" is a phrase I use at least once a month. Everyone chuckles and then says "hey, that's pretty handy that A links to B directly".
That and "Have we thought about building the 'Internet Movie Database' version of this where you can jump from host to switch to multicast config only using hyperlinks?" is another popular saying of mine.
