+1 for this question. Postman was a thing of simple beauty before they tried chasing the VC money

Even more concerning is all the upvotes. That means somebody's not only posting bullshit, they're running bots here too

This is a hero list! Props

Nice to hear. So… anybody using it yet? We’re all waiting to see if something’s better, cheaper, or easier than OpenAI.

So… what’s this article about? What did you find interesting about it?

Wow, the tone here is... really arrogant. When somebody starts off calling their audience idiots, I find it a little harder to read along.

I think I'm glad I did, though. Tone aside, I think it's a worthwhile insight to note that caching is making up for a shortcoming in your data supply, and that fixing that shortcoming if at all possible should be a priority. The author's summary would have helped me in the past:

Caching is a useful tool, but can be easily abused without giving any signs of the abuse.

Don’t get involved with caching till the last minute; find any other way you can first. Optimise your application before you use the blunt tool of caching.

While I would love to see Twitter auguring straight into the ground, Twitter’s API changes would explain some portion of this traffic changes. I wonder if there are any other proxy measures for audience engagement as separate from basic traffic

Interesting. Would love to know more about languages that can and can’t be parsed by this approach; the abstract assumes some greater formal-language proficiency that I don’t have

For the curious: this is an impressive and meditative ~5 minute video showcasing a simple but flexible recursive drawing system. I found it worth the watch and I’m curious about the code

+1. I haven’t used Twilio much, but I was impressed with the ease of use and onboarding when I used it 5+ years ago

Does anybody have insight into the design choice away from named arguments? Everything in the article and in the comments seems like different levels of kludge around an unfortunate decision

Thanks. That's a big article, and some extra commentary and streamlining there is welcome!
