My thoughts on Why Gopher in 2026: Why Gopher in 2026

Commentary

  • Why Gopher in 2026
  • Why even bother going deep right? Why even understand how a browser or DNS works, or how SSL and certification of HTTP works? Oh you don’t know that 4 can be a weak random number for certification encryption? Oh you are not a programmer, you are a brogrammer!
  • I think this is important, everyone is now able to expand their breadth of knowledge, as a developer the disctinction would be to have a depth of knowledge about something, it might seem its redundant to know it, considering how quickly these models are able to do what they are told, but I think it gives a edge over the assumptions the model might make.
