RFC

This post introduces a new series of posts commenting on and summarising the RFCs that I enjoyed reading for one reason or another. I couldn’t say when it was that I first discovered RFCs, but I know one thing for sure - the core idea of describing something, usually technical, in great lucidity and opening it up for peer-review impressed me enourmosly. In fact the idea inspired me to create my own set of RFCs, which I called PRFCs, for Personal Request For Comments, the word Personal signifying that they were mostly used internally to document thoughts about solving this or that technical problem (like designing the network in our student house or figuring out how to provide redundant Wifi connection for an old town hall in East London taken over by a bunch of hackers and artists).
