Why Your Team Sucks 2025: Los Angeles Rams

Some people are fans of the Los Angeles Rams. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Los Angeles Rams. This 2025 Defector NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here.

Guess I won’t be deploying this bug fix right away. 🙁 When deploying to the app servers, I roll each server out of the load balancer to avoid downtime. Can’t do that when Linode’s management interface and API are down.

I haven’t forgotten about holding a small Micro.camp this year. The summer has been full of distractions. I think it’s important that we do an event each year, even if it has to be scaled down a little. It’s a time to mark the progress and hear from people.

The consensus among the people who responded to my what does "on the web" mean query is this. Something is on the web if it has a URL you can use to view it in a web browser. That means, in 2025, that the URL begins with HTTP or HTTPS. Every "page" on a site must have a URL so they can be pointed to independently, otherwise known as deep linking. It's not enough to just have a home page that's on the web. So for example, an iPhone app isn't on the web just because it has an information page that is.
