There are 19,000 LinkedIn employees world wide according to my cursory Kagi. That means more than two endpoints for every employee. I feel like regardless of micro or macro that’s an enormous sprawl of entropy.
- xnx 3y agoAre we verbing kagi now?
- jraph 3y agoI'd whynot this.
- 9dev 3y agoIn which case I'll decisively nope that.
- jraph 3y agoMore seriously though, I wish we used generic terms instead of using brands. "Look up" (or lookup as a noun) or "search" can't be too hard to use. We don't need to turn our thoughts into ads at every corner. (so, yes, I'll take your nope for my whynotting) Now, if you are launching a search engine, you need to name it wisely for when people verb it. As a brand you probably want this to happen. Duck Duck Go was not very wise.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoGiven that’s already happened with Google that’s a bit late. I’d rather support Kagi than reinforce Googles brand.
- wood_spirit 3y agoThe term “endpoint” is pretty fuzzy. Often it’s meant how many different url handlers there are (eg a service exposing “customers” might have dozens of endpoints for searching them, listing them, creating, updating and deleting them etc. So number of endpoints can quickly grow to a big number.
