@mttaggart @DaveMWilburn @hrbrmstr @tychotithonus @jerry yeah, compute/bandwidth is cheap vs the time of a developer at least short term so that's what we get

Even if there was some caching opportunity, proper caching is hard so easier not to do it.

When computers were more expensive, the optimisation went in the other direction, better throw man-hours on it to save a bit of compute or bandwidth.

It's kind of obvious but I did not really realise it before watching the new Python documentary.

But still I wonder if the people who grew up with unlimited bandwidth and computer think about it, or is it just the ones who grew up with "scarcity" who are irked by it.

Sorry for hijacking the thread for ranting
