Here's how I go from dumb to less dumb: - on Saturday, I wanted to learn how to write a Kubernetes configuration file from scratch, so I decided I'd deploy a static web page - for the static web page, I decided it should return pictures of teapots w/ a 418 status code, and initially tried to return responses using netcat, which I got working on my local machine, but not in a container - instead of using netcat, I decided that nginx is for people that don't like over-engineering their weekend hack projects, so clearly I needed to write my own web server and hacked out a janky Elixir server that serves up a poop emoji teapot image [1][2] - then I started working on an overly over-engineered HTTP server, which so far only has date headers [3] - then last night I randomly wondered how HTTP 2 works, looked for the RFC [4] - then I remembered working on the date header, and I wondered how headers work in HTTP2, and I learned they use Huffman encoding, and so my next side tangent is to read up on Huffman encoding and add HTTP 2 header support to my HTTP server!
