  18. Ahmad Alfy: Your URL Is Your State. “We reach for all sorts of abstractions to manage state such as global stores, contexts, and caches while ignoring one of the web’s most elegant and oldest features: the humble URL.

  19. Very amusing: PhishyURL.com. “This is a tool that takes any link and makes it look malicious. It works on the idea of a redirect. Much like https://tinyurl.com/ for example. Where tinyurl makes an url shorter, this site makes it look malicious.” It does generate very crazy-looking URLs.
