| This is magnificent! Gave me roller-coaster ride across 40 years of gathering knowledge about computers and networks. I'm very jealous of whoever created that. Well done! |

| You are not jealous. You are envious. Homer explains it best https://youtu.be/Tmx1jpqv3RA |

| ▲ | samlinnfer 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Not really, jealous is defined as envious (being envious is one of the definitions of being jealous). For common usage they are equivalent, e.g. I'm jealous of X is the same as I'm envious of X. | | |
| ▲ | sriram_malhar an hour ago | parent [-] | | They may be equivalent in common parlance, but that’s a bit like saying it is ok to use ‘your’ instead of “you’re” just because it is so common. We say “jealously guarded’ not ‘enviously guarded’ for a reason. Jealousy is about being protective of your own possessions and relationships; you feel jealousy if your spouse responds well to a coworker’s flirtations. Envy is when you find think of the coworker’s luck in having a good looking spouse |

| I once asked a question like this for an interview. "Tell me what happens when you press the Buy button on a web site". It really helped me gauge a sense for the person's interests and expertise. Like some folks just talked about javascript and some node code. Others talked about tcp a bit, some got into cloud stuff. It was really telling. Not bad or good, just a great way to learn where someone's head is at and was a fun back-and-forth conversation. This web site is basically a cheat code for that question lol. So well done, kudos to the author. Bookmarked and shared |

| While I also enjoyed it very much, some thing are strangely ordered and not how I would expect someone with such knowledge of all the moving parts in a request, would build such a site. So for me it feels like an LLM has build it and the human with the prompt saw it and said "eh, good enough". |

| ▲ | mimischi 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | Agreed. This reeks LLM writing with no human oversight, or at least a human with no writing experience. The text underneath “The Click” is an immediate giveaway: > Five milliseconds of hardware and browser bookkeeping before a single byte leaves the laptop. I don’t even know how to describe it, but the “[…] before X” sentence style stands out to me. |
