I hope to once make the frontpage on HN. Not for the fame or anything, just to check how scalable my blog really is. :)
Do you know of any way of testing your website to see how many concurrent users it can handle?

Always build scalable web presences.
Sigh. I'm really tired of this misunderstanding.
Literally everything you type in to an editor is an algorithm. "Learning algorithms" isn't about memorizing known facts, it's about learning how to think about programming.
" It doesn’t matter if you don’t know algorithms… But it doesn’t hurt to learn about it (because it might help you in the future). This is important. Usually you don’t use algorithm in programming a system but if it’s something that will scale fast, your understanding of algorithm might be useful. " Sigh. I'm really tired of this misunderstanding.

Totally agreed. A knowledge of "conventional" algorithms influences how you write code. Sometimes it manifests as knowing which algorithm to choose, sometimes it manifests as intuition into the performance (or lack thereof) of something you're writing.
It's not required by any means, but don't turn down cheap knowledge on how to gain an edge.
Don't write/use abstractions you won't understand later. Often you start with 2-3 copies, try to merge them and end up using it at a place were it doesn't fit 100% anymore.
Keep nesting low. Often it's faster to scroll over one big okay-ish structured function than to find all the clean tiny things around the the project. Same goes with Objects/Classes/Components etc.
Stop using abbreviations and try to write code more readable and not as short as possible. IDEs help with autocompletion and code gets read more than written anyway.
