Welcome to my final Ask Me Anything of the summer. Between work and vacation travel, I just won't be around as much. But today, you can unload.
One quick update: the dev team is working like crazy to try and get DK5 live by the end of August. We were hoping to beat the election-time traffic surge, but too late, it's already here. Historically, May has been our slowest month. But last month? It was the third best month in our entire history:
In other words, there is no "slow month" anymore. The site continues to grow at amazing rates. And that is awesome, but presents challenges to our infrastructure. How do we maintain peak-level traffic throughout an entire year? And what happens when our traffic spikes around September?
But those are good problems to have, so I'm not complaining. We just have a lot of work to do behind the scenes to deliver on our new site, and make sure that it performs well throughout the election. That's easier said than done.
