What Hacker News says?
Instead of the last quote in the article, I prefer this one (got it from [0]) >"There are two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors." – Martin Fowler And there's plenty of similar articles, for example [1] [2] [0] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Naming_things [1] https://dbader.org/blog/python-memoization [2] https://mike.place/2016/memoization/
