People forget how much we did with servers that had less horsepower than that ten years ago. Computers these days are really powerful.

- orthecreedence 14y agoI agree. I think there's a balance between just throwing hardware at a problem versus trying to squeeze every bit of juice out of every box. I'm cheap as hell and actually like a bit of ops, so I'm more towards the squeezing side. I've seen people install 4-6 webservers where 2 would have easily handled the load because they didn't want to optimize. I realize it's a viable strategy, but it makes me cringe...
