I appreciate the author’s work on so many projects, but the quote doesn’t resonate with me. There is a new post almost every day on HN about “saving the Web” that gets voted to the top - and it has been this way for several years now.
But I don’t think fixing broken links is at the top of our priority. Many links need to be broken. And I’m glad my old stuff isn’t around. Hopefully much of my new stuff will go away too. I think this is just humanity’s process - to sift through it all and hang on to the pieces people want to save.
