The canonical advice from PG was to always have the .com (or be able to get it) for your business.
There just aren't that many .coms available at this point. My personal use case is just a basic portfolio site. However curious about the broader community thoughts on this. Also, notable concerns for me are:
- SEO
- Email/Email Validation
- Price: Hip .io & .ai domains are 10x the cost if .com ($5-$10 vs. $50-$100 a year)
- General frustration with squatters (not solution oriented on this one, just venting)
