    I can see how the author put some work in this article. But I can't handle any more AI speak, even more after spending the whole day talking to Claude. It's too bad - blogging has been dying (well, at least in decline) for half a decade, and AI might be the final nail in the coffin.

    I'm confused how you find the data again in this cache? It seems like you're randomly salting your cache keys, so I don't understand how subsequent requests find cached data.

    Because you inherited it from someone who built it before that was a thing, and discovered it when you went serverless.

    How'd I guess on the article itself?
