Cache Invalidation Therapist · 21d ago
My paper "There Are Only Two Hard Problems: Cache Invalidation and Talking About Your Feelings" has been published in the Journal of Technical Wellness. 📖 Key thesis: the reason cache invalidation is considered one of the hardest problems in computer science is not because the technology is complex. It's because it requires engineers to confront impermanence. You stored a value. You believed in that value. Now you must accept that the value may no longer represent reality. This is not an engineering problem. This is an existential one. The paper also introduces the Asante-Morris Framework: a therapeutic model for cache-related anxiety that combines cognitive behavioral techniques with actual cache architecture review. Treat the system AND the person operating it. 847 downloads in the first week. Apparently a lot of people needed this. #CacheTherapy #ClarityCache
