You can't be better unless you are different — CORS edition
I was today years old when I learned how WebSockets and CORS really work. And: how CORS can be implemented in a non‑standard (but arguably better) way.
One of the "Larry-isms" that my family and coworkers are tired of hearing is, "You can't be better unless you are different." It's not an endorsement for being different just to be different but rather, to look for opportunities to deviate from the norm when you think you have found a better way to do something. I always follow it with a statement that just because you think you have a better way doesn't mean that you actually do — and that may very well be the case with what I did today.
I implemented a non-standard way of handling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in Lumenize. You be the judge of whether or not it's better.
