Recently, I had a conversation with a junior developer on my team. Let’s call him Alan. We were talking about a new notification feature that was going to be used to send reminder e-mails to potentially thousands of people if they had forgotten to enter certain data in the last month or so. Alan was confident that the code he’d written was correct. “I’ve tested it well.”, he said…
Imagine if you were the guy who made the call on IPv4 addresses…
Give it long enough and somehow the person who decided on IPv6 will feel the same as every piece of matter we want to interact with can be networked.
I guess the MAC address guy is up next. 48 bits may not go so far if every light bulb is going to want its own.
Apple won’t like that doomsday event lol
