> I’d argue that the web, more specifically http, offered up the last truly new paradigm in computing. It is a single, elegant standard for distributed systems. We should all take the time every now and then to think about the beauty, power, and simplicity of this standard. What is really funny about that sentence is that the word "http" links to the wikipedia article through href.li, in order to hide the referer, a built-in feature of HTTP 1.1 and the web. So much for elegance and simplicity when I am staring at a workaround using an external system for something as simple as a link.
