@RosaCtrl what’s that
@RosaCtrl Ah you mean like how User agent strings work lol
@Profpatsch yeah, this industry is funny
@RosaCtrl Nah, it’s just fundamentally how decentralized media works.
Same with e.g. everybody using Activitypub `Notes` because Mastodon does not display `Article` at all
@RosaCtrl Which is why I think prescriptive standards are fundamentally a dumb idea and should not be done
@Profpatsch you mean that things should grow in a more organic way?
@RosaCtrl yeah, things should just grow by interacting and using each other’s seam points, and once there’s enough value established by a certain practice/idea we can make a standard
@Profpatsch yeah, I agree with that. But I don’t think we will change the way things are done if everyone pretends to be an engineer and the talk of how software should be construct like buildings keeps going.
(Which is particularly funny because if only programmers knew how buildings are built 😅)
@Profpatsch two things can by true at the same time. There are reason, yet they are still funny
