I hope we don't see a blog post next week titled "What's it's like to be on HN's front page for 20 hours for previously being on HN's front page for 20 hours"
> At its peak, I was getting between 100 and 200 page views per minutes.<p>It seems like it peaked at just over 3 hits per second, which is, frankly, a little lower than I would've expected, and seems very manageable. I'm curious what the loads are on sites that end up going down from the traffic.
35,000 uniques for ~330 upvotes? It's a little strange to me, but the few times I've been on HN, I've also noticed that near exact ratio: 100 uniques for every upvote, whether its for 20 upvotes or 200.<p>Anyway, I'm surprised it didn't result in more uniques in your case, given all the useful content you've posted...I spent some time going through your other blog posts. Great resource!
