While troubleshooting today, I took a minute to notice how many posts are on my blog. About 6400, of which 4700 are short microblog posts, 1700 long-form posts. But the surprise was over 12,000 replies, which I don’t really think about. All of this needs to funnel through Micro.blog and Hugo.
@manton and that’s only your blog!!! Processing all that each time you publish a new post is insane and … inefficient (if I understand Hugo correctly)
@numericcitizen It's sort of an ongoing battle, how to make everything as fast as possible. Hugo is very fast. Managing all the files and caches across multiple servers is the harder part.
By the way, I'm increasing my own number of replies thanks to this new one. To be fair, social networks so often invite me to silence; I'd be really surprised if I ever reached such high levels!
@manton Nice. Yup, we do spend a lot of time commenting rather than writing on own blogs. Where did you get a count? Amit’s Stats plugin counts only posts.
@pratik I was looking in the database. I don't think we show the count anywhere. You'd probably need to export all the replies and count them that way.
@ddanielson Oh dang! How did I forget about that? So, for me, it is...15,643 replies. Oh dang! Perhaps I should pipe down a little. And don't you say what I think you are going to say :) @manton
