On URL readability
Read OriginalThis article explores URL readability by comparing hierarchical paths (e.g., /futurama/season/6/episode/9) with query strings (?season=6&episode=9). It summarizes crowd-sourced explanations for why slashes are more readable than & and = symbols, covering visual noise, hierarchy implications, typing difficulty, and brain processing. The author questions if better separator choices could have avoided URL rewriting overhead.
