@sean gotcha, this is all really helpful! it looks like nginx has a lot of caching options, so after setting up the server I just need to make sure the right options are configured https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/content-cache/content-caching/
NGINX Content Caching | NGINX Documentation

Cache both static and dynamic content from your proxied web and application servers, to speed delivery to clients and reduce the load on the servers.

(also it's good to see you toffee <3 )

@jazz I'm a baby programmer and I know there's nothing wrong with using vs code, it is an electron app though and if I'm mostly just text editing I'd rather use something tiny and native
