Heh, elegance like "There is a story on the front page getting lots of attention, please log out so we can serve you from cache."

I know, just a good natured poke :) Plus you could probably take that comment at face value - making use of web caching is definitely an important tool when building a large scale system.

It's a page-level cache, and your view on a page depends on username, hidden submissions, point counts, etc.

Elegance like "The entire site is a giant nested table in 2018"

And what exactly is wrong about that? Its loading and rendering speed? Or that it works in text mode?
