Yes to all of that. Plus the url of the post itself (https://sive.rs/su https://sive.rs/su) takes this to a perverse extreme. I agree that URLs should be humane, but typeable from memory is not the primary objective. Having people beable to read the URL and understand something about where it will go is. Also, unless you know your domain will only ever host one type of content, then having no hierarchy will lock you in. https://sive.rs/blog/on-short-urls https://sive.rs/blog/on-short-urls is plenty short, but so much more valuable to any humans using the url. If you don't agree that URLs need to be humane, then none of it matters and sure, use a UUID for every page.
