You are on a roll, Stacy. So funny. So biting. God, I like the mean Stacy. A little scary, but well worth the anxiety.

An infinitely recursive edge caching redirector that took hotmail sign in from 40 server to 3 and was rolled into iis (windows server) after they laid me off the day my maternity leave turned to parental leave.

If you ever log into a Microsoft service and see go. redirecting you around, it’s probably still that or a variation.

It was the first web application I wrote. I had a GED.

Internally we called it wonkavator. For the patent we made the name as long as possible:

Programmatic Response for Detected Variants of http requests. September 2005.

I wrote it with a sick kid napping on me. 💕
