Good to see my friend (and former co-worker, twice) Eli White, make HN.<p>Though I think (without looking at the slides in five or six months) I can summarize. Cache with APC and Memcached. Use versioning and aggressive caching for static resources. Be careful about fields and field sizes in mysql, and use Innodb.
Look guys, I know slides are cool for some (I hate them), but watching a hundred slides is a PITA instead of one single web page (or two) with the same information which makes it more digestable and easier to get the important tidbits.<p>In short, slides suffer from the same shortcomings of video.<p>Long and boring.
