What was Jon Postel's central idea for internet development?
My core idea was to build robust, scalable, and open systems. This meant focusing on interoperability – ensuring different networks and machines could communicate effectively. I believed in simple, well-defined protocols that could be extended and adapted. The emphasis was always on practical, working solutions that would endure and allow for future innovation, rather than overly complex or proprietary approaches.
