This comment was the first one I ever saw that said “Deleted by creator” so I was wondering what would happen if you copy the text of it. Apparently, this shows the text of the deleted comment. Is this a bug?

          Servers cache stuff too. Instead of orchestrating each script and each request to db, they prerender pages to deliver. It’s getting trickier with dynamic sites like reddit, but it still saves a lot in processing time, money.

      The hardest thing in programming is naming things, off by one errors, and cache invalidation.

        The joke is supposed to be “the two hardest problems in programming are naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one-errors” - the joke being that you say two problems and are off by one.
