Good to know you're still building your own tools like back in the "old days" :)

And then everybody left, yeah, I remember this exactly.

I think we're comparing two very different categories. COBOL is an application language, whereas TCP and HTTP are foundational infrastructure. Replacing a language is challenging, …

> {"a":1,"b":2} and {"b":2,"a":1} are the same query and two different cache entries These two payloads are actually different. You're talking about semantics, which is determined …

This is controlled by the (Last-Modified, If-Modified-Since) and (ETag, If-None-Match) header pairs. HTTP is stateless; it does not require any persistence. The only thing that def…

How does the origin server indicate that?

I don't think this requires so much discussion; it is a very obvious and simple addition, IMO.

How does this break rest?

It won't break GraphQL, as it uses POST. It can very much improve it if adopted: - use QUERY method when querying resources - use POST method for mutations

Because HTTP is stateless by definition, you now need to support persistence (state) on the server side whenever you want to run a slightly different query, which contradicts the p…

The internet is complex, and you have tons of protocols that are not well supported. TCP/HTTP are well supported by proxies and have well-defined, stable specs, which also help wit…

I think most of the value LLMs provide comes from connecting the dots between unsolved questions and patterns or structures that have already been demonstrated, which accelerates r…

Yeah, I was surprised by that as well.

If there's only a centralized system that uses digital IDs to hand off providers only a "yay" or "nay"...

That makes sense. Wi-Fi uses radio waves, part of the light spectrum. Like our eyes or cameras can watch and record, Wi-Fi can also be used for this purpose.

If you do `new Date('2025-11-31T00:00:00Z')` you get `2025-12-01T00:00:00.000Z`, which is weird and potential cause for bugs when parsing date string from input. Right because of t…

I like this solution, it looks very simple and should’ve been consider as part of best practices if it works technically. However, I also think that this whole trade off is broken …

It is mentioned in the article that round-robin DNS is an alternative to this setup, however, in reality, it is not the same thing, and that's the reason load-balancers exist, and …

In that case, can you reduce pricing for customers, too?

I've been using Docker Swarm for almost 6 years now deploying entire stacks for customers on top of it — it's stable and incredibly cheap to maintain.

The balance example should have been explained in more detail — it’s clearly a transactional system where the balance is derived from the sum of transaction log data. CRDTs have no…

Matt also knows that the messy WordPress API (both actions and filters) is difficult to integrate into a well-architected software project as a plug-and-play mechanism.

Actually, when someone forks a project creates a new repo. This is not the case, the plugin was indeed a take over instead.
