    And they fuck with discoverability. For a while I worked with a company, let’s call it “Polio”. (It was a different *io word.) The URL was, of course ihavepol.io. And then you have to tell people what the URL is, and humans being what they are, every single person will type “ihavepolio.io” or “ihavepolio.com”.

    Look, folks, do you want customers or do you want to make yourself giggle when you pick a domain name?
