   Reminds me of Stackoverflow [0]: 1.3B page views per month, with I think 23 servers. Building a mostly (I guess?) view only site is different than something like twitter, but it's doable. [0] https://stackexchange.com/p

   I have a dog and have set times where I have to take it out. The benefit is like rubber-duck debugging. For about 45 minutes I have no interesting things to distract my mind and I automatically start thrashing any meaty problems I left spec
