[aciccarello] what is dog fooding?
# 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "dog fooding" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "dog fooding is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [aciccarello] dog fooding is /dogfood

CrowderSoup what is dog fooding?
# Loqi dogfood in the context of the IndieWeb was used to refer the software practice of metaphorically “eating your own dog food” in particular with using your own creations on your own personal site that you depend on, day to day, however the IndieWeb community prefers to instead use the metaphor “eat what you cook” for this encouragement https://indieweb.org/dog_fooding
# CrowderSoup what is eat what you cook?
# Loqi 🍽 eat what you cook (or eating what you cook, or eating your own cooking) is a metaphor for the IndieWeb principle “use what you make”, encouraging creators to consume what they create, in particular on their personal website, and a more palatable replacement for the selfdogfood metaphor https://indieweb.org/eat_what_you_cook
# CrowderSoup what is use what you make?
# Loqi use what you make is an IndieWeb principle that encourages creators to use the applications, tools, libraries, code, designs, documentation that they create, in particular on their personal website, and the counterpart of the make what you need principle https://indieweb.org/use_what_you_make
# CrowderSoup Hell yeah

[Trevor_Morris] I prefer `www.` prefix to balance out the `.com` suffix. Obviously, I have the root domain redirecting so both work for the user!

[tantek] Atom vs RSS is /RSS_Atom_wars
# Loqi The RSS Atom wars (or syndication wars) were a toxic plumbing debate about the merits of using Atom vs RSS that dragged in and distracted numerous high level web technologists from 2003-2007 while social silos (Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, etc.) emerged, rapidly innovated UX, and thus gained popular adoption https://indieweb.org/Atom_vs_RSS
