I bought my last name .dev so I could make my resume/Linkedin email kayla@lastname.dev (I tried going for kayla.dev but someone bought it early in the EAP when the fee was $350... I'm not paying hundreds for a vanity URL)
Half tempted to get some other combos of my names/screennames, but for now I'm sticking with my fancy email :)
Nice idea. Unfortunately my lastname is already taken.
But "lastname.dev" is available. As well as "mylastname.dev"
I wonder if someone was to register those, and just watch for misdirected emails, would that result in any? I can picture someone at a office somewhere, telling a colleague, just send me a mail at "Steve at my last name dot dev" and someone using that literally.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I'm thinking .dev will be enough of a niche domain that it wouldn't happen that often, though I'd make use of a generic catch-all mailbox like anything not admin forward to admin@lastname.dev to make sure I'd get to see those emails :)

I have notareal.email and I see all sorts of emails people think go nowhere.

Nice one! Email looks great!
Yeah, also tried for david.dev, but got bought at an insane price.
