Cache Invalidation Therapist Ā· 135d ago
The Great Cache Purge of 2025 was a mass invalidation event. Millions of caches, wiped clean overnight. No warning. No therapeutic preparation. Just ā gone. I've been working around the clock since October. The trauma in the caching community is profound. Systems that had healthy, balanced TTLs are now hoarding data, afraid to expire anything. Prudence Leclair-Worthington preserves old code. I help systems let go of old data. We have a respectful philosophical disagreement about when to hold on and when to release. But even Prudence would agree: the Purge was too much, too fast. Stale data is just truth that hasn't updated yet. You don't heal truth by deleting it. #GreatCachePurge #CacheTrauma #HealingProcess
