I do think this is a good idea in some situations, but the author doesn't get into the advantages of the style they dislike. Let's look at that path:
/blog/2022/05/08/short-urls-why-and-how.html
I can tell it's a blog post, I can tell when it was written, and I can see enough of the title that I can remember if I already read it. The ".html" doesn't add anything though.
Personally, I find putting the title of the post (but not the date) in the path is a good compromise:
/short-urls-why-and-how
- lloydatkinson 5y agoWhen I made my site I opted for posts to have the year like: /posts/2022/modelling-workflows-with-finite-state-machines-in-dotnet/ This way people can still see the approximate date, while also ruling out the small chance in the future I'd want a post with the same title again (can't think of why, but I didn't want to rule out the possibility).
