The best answer here is to compromise by adopting a middle-endian byte order so that everybody's equally unhappy.

- teknopaul 5y agoWe have the Internet, the war is over, it was a truce. At the border you speak "network byte order" and inside you are free to write your own rules. There may be some advantages to speaking network byte order all day but you don't have to change your habits of a lifetime.
- bhaak 5y agoFWIW, my first computer had a big endian CPU (Motorola 68000) so I'm thinking in big endian and every time I have to inspect a hex dump on my local machine I get confused if I look for more than 1 byte. Not that this happens a lot these days but once or twice a year I'm looking at some hex.
