What's it's like to be on HN front page for 20 hours

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"

&gt; 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&#x27;ve expected, and seems very manageable. I&#x27;m curious what the loads are on sites that end up going down from the traffic.

35,000 uniques for ~330 upvotes? It&#x27;s a little strange to me, but the few times I&#x27;ve been on HN, I&#x27;ve also noticed that near exact ratio: 100 uniques for every upvote, whether its for 20 upvotes or 200.<p>Anyway, I&#x27;m surprised it didn&#x27;t result in more uniques in your case, given all the useful content you&#x27;ve posted...I spent some time going through your other blog posts. Great resource!
