Am I crazy for having always assumed the request cache for browsers like Chrome would consider request headers in its cache key?

If there are two requests, with a custom request header containing a different value on each, I would have thought the request would not be served from browser cache 🤔

Amazon asking if you want to subscribe to Prime on every order, year after year, decline after decline, is so disgusting.

I get it makes them money. Especially since its simple to accidentally miss it and end up losing $$ even with an immediate cancellation. But its so shady and pathetic.

Currently having fun scaffolding out what it will look like to migrate from a heavily cached NextJS React app to a heavily A/B tested RSC-based version.

So far I like how things are working out. React feels like it is moving in a good direction for the dynamic e-commerce site challenge.

Disappointed that Next's migration guide from pages to app directory doesn't mention i18n.

They discuss minor breaking changes like the Link component, but just ignore the glaring removal of the preexisting i18n feature. It makes incremental migration a pain.
