The last thing you need to do when you cause link rot is to list the page as “online banking is down”

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/10

Nice example on how not to copy with link rot: as a bank is to indicate “internet banking is unavailable” scares your customers away.

[WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “dit heet overigens link rot, en gebruiksvriendelijke sites proberen dat te voorkomen; is zeker niet gecompliceerd en eigenlijk ook niet complex: het is een kleine moeite om dat in je ontwerp en onderhoud-proces mee te nemen. 1/2 …

  • better algorithms having become available.

Some of the related topics cannot be archived in the WayBack machine or refuse being archived at Archive.is, so here is a list of partially archived relevant links:

Start Together. Finish Together – Hacker Noon

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/10

I need to read more Hacker Noon stuff:

It may seem counterintuitive, but… Start Together. Finish Together – Hacker Noon [WayBack]

Via a mention of the “non developers” point of view, who are the key persons to do this whole “start/finish together” mantra wit: [WayBack] “Their mental model is that developers/designers are this tiny little pipe, and you have to play this intricate game of Tetris to get the most amount of… – Marjan Venema – Google+ (who does great coaching, so be sure to check out her postings)
