Doesn't caching has an equivalent set of pitfalls though?
It's cached. Look up KV (prefix) caching.
if only they could figure out their caching...
Isn't that just... caching
No cache is optimal for all use cases. That's an impossible goal.
No, that's what caches are for.
Curious what makes a cache better to you.
I always thought it's more about caching
Cache memory is still not cheap.
Good to know. Just trying to use the cache to avoid killing our servers.
