Backing the days (5+ years ago I think) we tried it, and while it was nice its licensing/pricing made us not use it for our startup, as it seemed to pose a sustainability threat when growing (or not growing the right pace). Has it improved since then? disclaimer: I don't remember the details, I was just told to use nginx because caddy is problematic, so I built the system with nginx open source.

  Neither. Lack of coffee. Won't correct it now :D (English is not my mother tongue, which is a phonetic language, Hungarian, and while I know the difference very well, being tired causes these kinds of typos sometimes)

    I (native language German) sometimes make similar homophone typing errors. My brain knew what I wanted to type, but is already further ahead, by the time (100-200ms) I get to typing it, my fingers only remember the sound of it and sometimes write something different that sounds similar (like to and two) or the same. It’s weird. Not sure if I’d make those mistakes in German as well, as I write far less in it ;)

      I do some handwriting (for journaling), and when I'm really tired, I sometimes also make these types of mistakes in Hungarian handwriting, though far less often than in typing. Probably we are always in a hurry, and should slow a bit down, and think twice (or more thoroughly) when composing text (or even in other aspects of our lives).

We had the same issue, and between that and the author's attitude towards the community feedback at the time meant I simply won't look back and got more and more familiar with NGINX.

This got me curious (and a bit worried) so I checked, and it seems like it might have been differently licensed for commercial use around the time you mention, but that no longer appears to be the case: https://caddy.community/t/caddy-license-for-commercial-use/17170 https://caddy.community/t/caddy-license-for-commercial-use/1...
