There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache in

Summary

This quote humorously highlights two challenges often encountered in computer science - cache invalidation and naming. Cache invalidation refers to the difficulty of managing and updating temporary storage areas (caches) within computer systems. It is a complex task to ensure that caches are always synchronized and up-to-date with the latest information. Naming things, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of choosing clear and appropriate names for variables, functions, and other elements in computer programs. This process can be tricky and time-consuming as selecting descriptive yet concise names is essential for readability and understanding of code.
