I wouldn't submit anything of mine to HN out of fear that the traffic might bring down my site (Webfaction hosted Django/Nginx blog)... and also because at the moment I wouldn't have anything to gain from the traffic besides a temporary ego boost.
EDIT: Speaking of which, is there a service out there that can test how much load your site can handle at one time?
- spyder 14y agoIt's sad that you would submit something only if you can gain something and not to help the community. BTW First results in google for "website load testing": http://loadimpact.com/ http://loadimpact.com/ For example you could try this service out and write a post about your experience and submit it to HN so you could help the community with useful information.
- mladenkovacevic 14y agoThanks for the suggestion. I will try it out and maybe find other services I can compare this one with. My experience with programming/product launching is also so junior/non-existent that I doubt anyone on HN would be interested in hearing about it. So the only other reason I might post (at this time at least) is if I were selling something (and I'm not). I was just being honest about what I feel I can contribute to HN at this time. Which is very little, hence why I stick to merely commenting.
