HN desperately needs a mega thread, it's only Monday early hours, there is so much drama to come out of this.
The technology sub (not that there's anything special about it other than being big) has had a post up since very early this morning, so there are likely others as well.
I get that HN takes pride in the amount of traffic that poor server can handle, but scaling out is long overdue. Every time there's a small surge of traffic like today, the site becomes unusable.
