There's a strong inverse correlation in my career between how often a dev refers to RFCs by number alone and how much I ever want to interact (let alone work) with them again.
Doubly so for the "meta" RFCs (eg 1925).
- woodruffw 1y agoI understand that PKI engineers are not a very fun lot, but it seems unfair to blame them for having the various X.509 RFCs beaten into them :-)
- rkomorn 1y agoI think it's more a correlation than a causation, and I think it's the other way around. It's not "I tend to not want to work with people who name-drop RFCs", it's "people I don't want to work with tend to name-drop RFCs". And PKI engineers are cool (and a lot smarter than me).
