Borklog: One entry

6 November 2000

No! Really! I am working today. arsdigita.com got Slashdotted today because of this story pointing to Philip's Management of Software Enginerds article. There's a lot of comments that echo my sentements about Philip's article. The site itself died mainly because of bad server configuration (I told them a number of times that 150 connection threads is an insanely high value), some ineffecient filters that are running on each page, and memory contention issues in AOLserver 3. Luckily we've got some braniacs on staff to diagnose the problems. Having done similar things at AOL for 2 years, I'm glad not to be in the firing line nowadays.
