Unless you mean the disabled "I'm a developer" button -- that was intentional and supposed to be fun.
- iqster 13y agoWould you be willing to do a short post-mortem write up on the load challenges your site faced? Since you are part of the HN crowd, I imagine you did all the reasonable things and somethings still surprised you :)
- Bradosaur 13y agoYep, we plan to write a blog post all about it, and what we'll fix going forward.
- suyash 13y agoPlease also do include in your blog post : 1. Which charities people donated most money? (my guess khan academy)? 2. Who's genius idea was to use 'disabled' attribute on the buttons? 3. How much traffic surge you got from TC, HN, Engadget?
- dsl 13y agoNo offense, but it is still Microsoft's fault for selecting an outside vendor who was unprepared. Poor planning and little interest in user experience (be it developer or consumer).
