I once had a problem that wasn't caused by chaching.

It was caused by cache invalidation.

There are two hard problems in computing, naming things, cache invalidation, and off by one errors.

I once had a problem that wasn’t caused by caching. It was caused by Accounts Payable forgetting to pay the internet bill, and the ISP cutting our service halfway through a network test. So the beginning of the test cached that the network had internet access, but then the end of the- wait fuck it was caused by caching

I can't be the only one who has wasted half an hour wondering why something wasn't working before realising the response was cached.

Only a half hour? Amateur.

As long as you aren't blaming "the network" or "the firewall" without cause.

Now if only there's one for off-by-one errors!

Believe it or not, still DNS

Usually I do my best to blame the network with cause!

Just because your bowser is not caching does not mean something else between you and the server is not caching as well.

thought it was obvious, but clearly /s

nah, it's dns.
