We assume everything we publish online will be preserved. But websites that pay for writing are businesses. They get sold, forgotten and broken. Eventually, someone flips the switch and pulls it all down. Hosting charges are eliminated, and domain names slip quietly back into the pool. What’s left behind once the cache clears? As I found with that pitch at the end of 2014, my writing resume is now oddly incomplete and unverifiable.
C’est également le cas pour les développeurs web. La plupart des sites sur lesquels j’ai travaillé n’ont pas été archivés et ont tout simplement disparus.
