  • Every Programmer Should Know #1: Idempotency - Yes idempotency is an important concept and this article is pretty good at illustrating how it applies in HTTP requests.

  • 30 years of the web down under - Stories about the early internet are kind of fun. The commercial internet started picking up steam around 1994. I was around at the time but didn’t do much apart from email and occasional searches to get extra information for the university coursework essays and disertations I was writting.
