Mark ReidOH: “What is it about DNS that people find so difficult? It’s just cache invalidation and naming things.”
For the non-computer-science folks confused by this: these, along with off-by-one errors, are commonly described as the “two hardest problems in computer science”.
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.I believe the classic saying is:
There are only two hard problems in computer science:
0. Cache coherency
1. Naming things
2. Off-by-one errors.
But, you top-level post made me literally laugh out loud, because I could _absolutely_ imagine the type(s) of person that might say it.
@BoydStephenSmithJr Yes, that was the exactly the saying the original post and my follow up comment was alluding to.
