dev chat traps
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
dev chat traps are technical topics, questions, debates that are brought up once in a while in the IndieWeb discussion channels, usually the "dev" channel, that consume quite a bit of time without any productive or actionable results, and have the impact of displacing otherwise useful conversations.
How to not
Please avoid starting dev chat traps discussions, and if someone asks about a dev chat trap topic, please refer them to this page and politely request that they take the conversation somewhere better for random topics like the informal "chat" channel.
Examples
- HTTPRange-14
- SSL client certs, especially as a method for server login, or server to server authentication
