On an ordinary weekday, HN gets about 3x as many unique visitors as my site: 33k vs 11k. When a new essay is very popular, my traffic spikes up to 30 or 40k a day, or in rare cases over 50k.
Thanks! As a comparison, how's this essay looking today? I only saw the link because it was on the front page, but I think that's one of their most popular blogs. Is the NY Times as powerful as claimed in PR circles?
Traffic spiked during applications and dipped at the beginning of summer, as it always does, but you can see there's secular growth mixed with the seasonal variation.
I knows it's fun and all to hate on managers, but they do perform a valuable function within an organization. If you're successful enough as an entrepreneur, it's almost guaranteed that you'll end up as one. Just because most people here identify more with the maker does not mean manager types should be disparaged.
