I can't read the article but hopefully it does not ironically present advice on writing webservers. There is really little excuse for a web server to buckle under pressure these days - hackernews sends a spike of traffic but not enough to kill even a moderately spec'ed server.

It'd only be ironic if the web server hosting the blog was a Go process, and even then it's a leap to conclude irony because the fault may lie outside the server process itself such as with the hosting company.

The Raspberry Pi handles the load well after fixing that configuration mistake. (I still need to investigate to understand in detail what went wrong there...)

Often these kinds of problems are caused by system misconfigurations, not web servers buckling. (Source: Am web server developer)
