Crowdfunding perhaps?? Maybe contact frequent users and ask for some donations. Get the word out people!

I think he needs time more than money.

Unless there were a possibility of project donations being sufficient (now, and ongoing) that he could quit his day job, which seems pretty unlikely.

Probably don't want to be outputting your database credentials in the error page I'm now receiving with this link: / MySQL database username / define('DB_USER', 'ahmetalpbalkan'); / * MySQL database password */ edit: also, why in gods name is 3306 open to the world on that server?

I've no idea why people insist on putting their birthdate in passwords either.

Install WP Super Cache. It should be able to handle HN's traffic even if it's running on an iPhone 3.

It is already installed and apparently not sufficient. There are 400+ people on my blog (excluding google cache or the ones viewing HTTP 500 error page, of course) and yet we see downtime.

Are you sure it's configured properly? A typical http server can serve thousands of requests for static pages per second even on low-end hardware.

I'm going to quit using WordPress on a shared VM, it's been 6 years since I installed WP and nothing is getting any better. Thanks for finding out the cached version. It should be available after a few retries for those want to comment on the page.

Your blog post is interesting. How does tweeting about your post help the open source developer? This is in the cached version, and I see that you've since removed it. I'm also genuinely curious about your association with svbtle. Looking at your LinkedIn cv, you look like a cool dude with a solid career in front of you. SDET at Microsoft will be fun and challenging for you. Congrats on the side project startup. It's…

there's a svbtle theme that you can install on wordpress: https://github.com/gravityonmars/wp-svbtle

This is blogspam. Blogspam of a repost. From last week.

That's interesting. I have just written this blog post after seeing a tweet from my friend, how could that be a repost from lastweek?

Ahmet, please change your password - the server just spat out the soruce code, including your database config and credentials (username/pass). Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home/ahmetalpbalkan/ahmetalpbalkan.com/blog/wp-blog-header.php on line 14

DB server only allows connections from only a single IP address I specified but that stupid cache plugin messed up all my blog and all WP functions are failing right now even I do a clean install.

Did you just installed it, or was it there all the time? I thought WP Super Cache was the trick to survive hn....

Give Wordpress a chance. It's a great content management system and is easily scalable using a caching plugin especially on shared hosting environment where access to server configurations is restricted.
