At the time of writing the comment it was practically instantaneous for me and the comment was genuine. Now it seems to be having trouble and I'm choosing to retroactively make the comment a joke about Jira ;)

Came back to check this since the tab never loaded. I'm guessing traffic caused some issues?

You folks overflowed the 32 MB of RAM that my forum is running on and caused it to restart a few times due to the high amount of simultaneous connections. It has recovered now though

I’m guessing HN hug of death. Probably smarter than just auto scaling to handle any surge traffic and then get swamped by crawlers & higher bills.

It just supports 1536 concurrent users [0].

Which is fine unless you get to HN frontpage.
