Ok, but you are wrong, just like the folks who insist on using clever DoD IP addresses instead of RFC 1918.

- benatkin 8y agoAt least you aren't directly accusing me of failing to RTFM! I've been vaguely aware of what's in that RFC, but I don't think reserving those TLDs for local stuff means that other TLDs are off limits. I certainly don't use example.com for all example emails. Developer happiness comes first. I got burned by going with domains outside that doc, but I think the blame goes on Google, not on those who decided to use .dev without making it an official standard. I think if it was an official standard Google might still have muscled their way into getting .dev, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same with .test in the future.
- glennpratt 8y agoI'm a developer too, I always use example.com because accidentally triggering bogus outbound mail from corporate IP addresses can make a mess for Operations. And Google gets baseless accusations because you feel entitled to something. Enjoy the feeling, you're entitled to it.
