This comment was the first one I ever saw that said “Deleted by creator” so I was wondering what would happen if you copy the text of it. Apparently, this shows the text of the deleted comment. Is this a bug?

    It was probably cached beforehand.

    I remember on the old forum with the alien I could hit refresh constantly to see what deleted comments had said if it was cached on time.

      The hardest thing in programming is naming things, off by one errors, and cache invalidation.

        The joke is supposed to be “the two hardest problems in programming are naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one-errors” - the joke being that you say two problems and are off by one.
