It's always weird to see this type of thing on HN. How anyone can call the way the web works "line noise" is baffling to me.
- jerf 8y agoFundamentals vs. changing tech. "Idempotency" as a concept is fundamental. Which header means what for some cache layer is not. REST unavoidably has a lot of things in it that are changing tech. (Nominally, it has a lot of fundamentals in it too, but per the other REST discussion on the homepage, which fundamentals it encompasses seems to vary on a person-by-person basis.)
