#3: Sonder
If you ever stopped to realize that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, in which you might appear only once as an extra in the background, then you have experienced sonder.
While in the market today, I got to experience a deep sonder by looking at the people passing by.

Cache-Control
It’s essential to know about this HTTP header because mastering it means you get to be in control of your destiny by ruling over caching in browsers and shared places like CDNs.
In Remix, you’ll get to interact with this in both loaders and the headers route function. Interestingly, the latter can use the former data (via loaderHeaders) to connect both.
Here’s a great article about caching data in the browser, and here’s a video from Ryan where he explains HTTP Caching for the rest of us.
