At this point in its life, reddit should have 6-12 programmers/system administrators + a few support staff, compared with the 3 they have at the moment.
That way they won't be agonizing over the choice between devoting their resources to keeping reddit running in the short term, or to moving reddit away from EC2 for long term stability.
