I think HN just broke your server.

Edit: Just read the linked Reddit thread, looks like there were some security issues. But hey, that's the power of open source, right? People can tell you instantly when shit is broken or unsafe.

I think this post is a joke of some sort ("nope.c"), example of how not to do things and why we don't code web apps in C. The "web server" is just ridiculously badly designed.
Feels like an educational project. So I wouldn't be too harsh on the author. Should've probably made it more clear though.
So would a ridiculously slow PHP framework be an example of why we don't code serious web apps with PHP?
Seems more like a play on node.js to me.
