## What Jamie wrote

I find the immutability of IPFS hard to wrap my head around. Mostly when I've built services for the web mutability was a helpful thing. But, I do appreciate that immutability allows you to design and build in a much different way. I keep wondering how long it will be before browsers allow direct connections to IPFS, not routing through an HTTP gateway. Either way, this article is a good overview of what web3 transport will likely look like.
