www is just a host name, totally arbitrary.

Some websites still require you to type www. explicitly.
For example, my university… Try tu-darmstadt.de and then try www.tu-darmstadt.de
I find that annoying because I’m lazy 😂

I prefer it, so I just redirect HTTP requests my root domain to the www version. I think it makes a ton of sense, since I www is merely one of the many services I host at my domain.

That’s a 5-minute workaround in the server config. Hate it when idiots skip that. I’m no dev, but I’ve done it many times.

I am a dev, and it makes me think whoever is in charge is extremely incompetent.

Or old school. Web used to be just one of the provided services. mail.tu-darmstad.de, ftp.tu-darmstad.de, www.tu-darmstad.de, not prioritizing any of them

If you’re in charge of running a live environment and running it like it’s still the 90s, then you’re incompetent.
