because you are clearly minimizing the impact of AI crawlers. sites don’t go from 1000 page requests /day to 10,000. I’ve seen sites going from 50~100 request per minute to 10.000 request per minute and they are mostly bots. no matter how efficient your site is, if the server cannot manage the connections it does not matter whether the content is cached or not.

And caching does not solve everything because many cloud providers charge for it, so even if you could potentially deliver them, it suddenly becomes too expensive to do so.

getting licensed as an electrician has been on my mind recently. i’m so tired of the whole industry

I love that the guys say something like “it means war horse”. Rocinante is a word play with “Rocin antes”. Rocin being an old weak horse unfit for serious work and. ‘antes’ is the spanish word for ‘before’.
