One day I was working on a project with an overdue deadline and something really simple wouldn’t work. I was trying it in all different versions I can think off - no luck. At late night I couldn’t stay awake anymore and the frustration made me sleep with a glas of wine - a very deep sleep.

The next morning, still not sure what was happening, I tried again and it suddenly worked like a charm. But I did not do anything!

What was different? Was there someone in my house fixing my code while I was sleeping next to it?

It must have been this strange thing that hunts us from time to time ... called Cache.
