> when most web developers used `.dev` for local development Most web developers were wrong. The reserved TLD for local development has been .localhost since 1999.

Or .test. See RFC 2606: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2606

I think .test is the TLD is the one most likely to work as expected as for all use cases as .localhost might be expected to only ever point to the loopback IP address. If anyone does something more complicated (like using a vagrant private network ip address), you might find some tools break unexpectedly.

Edit: the newer version of the docs have more details (in section 6) on the differences to be expected between test, localhost, example and invalid domains. see: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6761

The difference in performance between Fastmail and the new Gmail interface right now is freaking stunning. I still load Gmail every few days to see if I have email there, and it's like waiting for Windows 98 to boot.

Setup forwarding in Gmail to send to a fastmail address. Problem solved.

This was actually an intentional choice not to do that. Setting up forwarding means you may have email continually passing through Google servers you didn't realize was still doing so. By having a hard cut between the two, I know for a fact that any email received at FastMail is not going through my Gmail account, and any email received at Gmail is, and needs to have the contact information updated.

I have a vacation auto-responder permanently on on Gmail as well to notify any individuals who hit my old address where my new address is.

I just ran their audit to https://mail.google.com , you guys (googlers) need to speed up your websites first, Gmail is terrible slow lately, just saying...

This is a bad take. By releasing tools like this it helps all websites, including Gmail, have the data on how to speed up their website.

You think gmail is slow, try the new adwords interface.
