Reminds me of
There are only 2 hard things about programming:
- Cache invalidation
- Naming things
- Off-by-one errors
- skellystudios 6y agoCache invalidation isn’t hard, but it used to be and now we can’t get people to think otherwise.
- rvense 6y agoI heard that the two main problems in computer science is that we have only one joke and it's not very funny.
- jbn 6y agocache invalidation is not hard indeed, but people always forget about it (so caches aren't caches aanymore, they become stale copies of things...). People tend to forget that a cache has to have a fixed size and an eviction policy.
