Thinking of solutions for this, couldn't you stagger when tickets go on sale at each venue? Seattle goes on sale at 10am, Portland on sale at 2pm, and Denver the following day? This spreads the demand over time and you don't have 5 billion requests all at once.
I certainly agree with the article. Something I have struggled with that has prevented me from writing more, is that I get near 0 eyes on the articles I spend a lot of time writing and thinking through. I'm not sure how to ever get eyes on my blogs, which has me discouraged from continuing writing more. I use Medium and post the articles to HN/twitter, but it hasn't seemed to help any.
This was a huge factor in my hosting a blog on my github.io page. There afaik is no available analytics on such sites available, and I didn't add any into the site. I have no clue how popular my blogposts are or if they have ever even been seen. They remain in a kind of superposition where I have no idea if anyone is reading some more than others or not. This causes me to put the same amount of effort and thought toward writing all of them regardless of topic. Furthermore, it means that I don't get uhh 'online stage fright'. I can assume that literally nobody is reading my blog or knows about it, which gives me a sense of ease I can trick myself into that allows me to write however I want.
Your website is http://www.oliverpeat.com/, right? I couldn't find your medium profile from there (though I may have missed it). Could you maybe have your posts also on your website?
Try finding more specific communities on Reddit. HN is a crapshoot and on Twitter you already need to have a bunch of followers. If you don't get up within the first 10 minutes almost nobody will see it just due to the volume of new articles.
I used to name my blog posts meticulously and provide detailed metadata with attention to (good, honest) SEO. The problem is that, while many of us here might use DDG, for the vast majority of people search = Google. And Google has changed its search results to outright hide a lot of standalone personal blogs, even if you search for the exact terms that are used in the blog entries. And there is a lot of content from the first decade of the new millennium that remains just as relevant today, because no one has posted anything more recent at such a length and detail, but Google has simply chosen to deprioritize older content.
I found it difficult to learn how to dress properly when starting with zero knowledge on the subject, and every article and website I could find on the subject was always a "How to be the best dressed person in the room". I started this blog to help people take the first steps in dressing properly.
The article mentions "The incident was dramatised in the American 1993 made-for-TV movie Mercy Mission - the Rescue of Flight 771." Maybe that is what you are referring to?
There is a local barbershop I have been going to for the past 4 years or so. Recently, they wanted to increase some business, so they were asking customers to leave a review. Loving the place and wanting to give back, I left a good review on Google. Fast forward a few weeks, and received emails from google saying my review has been viewed 100s of times. I used to be able to call and get an appointment the same day, or same afternoon even, but now it's difficult to be seen the same day. It's a bit of a bummer, and I'm not really sure how to solve it. It hurt me as a long time customer, but the shop is doing a ton more business now. Now I'm hesitant to do this for any other business I enjoy, even knowing this is a selfish feeling.
That happened to me. Now I just scheduled my next appointment when I finish the current appointment. Every 5 weeks. And you get the same barber every time which is nice - you don't need to tell them what cut you want every single time. And it is good for the business because the have a somewhat predictable revenue source.
Yep exactly or "this" as they say. The Market doesn't have to respond so slowly that prices stay the same even though demand went up. It doesn't have to charge a faithful customer more than an unfaithful one either.
It would be funny, although not culturally normal, to see companies start to review customers.
As far as my background goes, I have been a part of some exciting projects over the course of my career thus far. Examples include software for NASA, Army, and the Navy. Most recently, I worked on new IoT (Internet of Things) software for Hitachi Vantara. I have a passion for learning new technologies, creating side projects, music, space, and staying active!

I think this largely depends on who he goes to visit. It's very probable his status will prevent him from meeting people, but I think he can get around this. I'd love for him to meet my father. He's a recently retired immigrant chef, doesn't own a Facebook account, doesn't care who Zuckerberg is, but would provide him with great conversation on his struggles and challenges with technology as well as the best meal of his life. If I know someone good to talk to that is this close to me while being in the field of tech, I'm sure he can find good people to meet as well.
