But seriously, caching is so Web 1.0. These days it's much cooler to make each request as slow as possible and buy more servers to compensate.

Cooler? You mean in the "my server farm is bigger than your server farm" pissing contest?

I hope you're being sarcastic. Not doing the sort of caching they describe in this article is lazy and wasteful.

Right on. You have to justify that VC money by spending it as fast as possible.
