all about ETags

ETags: a pretty sweet feature of HTTP 1.1

HTTP caching review

HTTP provides two ways for servers to control client-side caching of page components:

  • freshness may be based on a date or a token whose meaning is app-specific
  • whether or not the client needs to confirm the cached version is up-to-date with the server

This breaks down as follows:

  • Cache locally and don't check before using.

Turning Off Github Issues

My friend Michael Jackson turned off github issues on one of his smaller projects. It got me thinking...

Maintainers getting burned out is a problem. Not just for the users of a project but the mental health of the maintainer. It's a big deal for both parties. Consumers want great tools, maintainers want to create them, but maintainers don't want to be L1 tech support, that's why they
