Wow, I was scared he was talking about scaling an application through most of that post. Only to finally realize it mentions its for a blog towards the end. Its drastically oversimplified if you need to scale an application. "Step 2: Make content static". For an actual application, there is far more to say than 4 sentences. In my opinion: * There are few cases where Apache is better than nginx. I don't run PHP, so that may be still there. * Varnish is awesome, use it, love it. * Purely static blogs, like jekyll, are great.
