Hopefully Nagios is showing him some red metrics right about now.

  The first bulletin point: “Doesn’t scale at all.” I wonder how much traffic is sending to his blog right now. Just in 1 hour we DDoS-ed his blog with HNers visiting his blog.

    I'm going to buy pg and company a beer and get code integrated into HackerNews that turns all submitted links into Coral cache links. Its 2014 and the Slashdot effect is alive and well :(

      That's actually a great idea! :) Haven't actually thought of that. Two things in mind: rewrite links but provides copy-paste for the original link (think about XSS from clicking a link on tweet and people want to look at the link before clicking it) and (2) HN's rewrite/shortened link must do dynamic cache url retrieval; not static. I think Google's cache link is different as cache is updated.

        Thanks! I agree with both points; I'd even suggest adding a link to the Internet Archive's copy, but baby steps.
