What to know to get promoted quickly in Big Tech

It's a classic WP mistake to not turn on one of the WP cache plugins (WP Super Cache, for instance). It's less about knowing scalability and more about just ever thinking whether your blog can have more than your 6 friends visiting it.

Sure, but those initiatives can suddenly change when the CEO changes or when the CEO changes strategy. Whole divisions can get shut down overnight.

Yes, clearly being able to keep your blog running when it's on the HN homepage is NOT one of necessaries.
