This kind of thing would be big enough for me to just recommend to most average developers to just stick with PHP or whatever they are using now. At least the one-thread/process-per-request shared-nothing architecture successfully mitigates the effects of unavoidable developer stupidity (or of "code you've pushed to production without review after more than a couple beers" if you want to put it more 1st person...).

Simply because: 1. bad code will inevitably be written, 2. bad code will inevitably end up, among other things, blocking the event loop, and 3. the application will need to keep working speedly, form the user's perspective, despite having bad code sprinkled in it.

Isn't there any "automagic" way to prevent this from happening with node? ...something like, if a request takes more than XXX ms, than at least start handling new requests in new threads?

While I certainly agree that have blog.domain.com may not be the best move in terms of SEO, I do think it's important to prioritize users clarify/navigation above SEO benefits.

Next, I'm curious if you have a sitemap file? I see your using the Yoast SEO plugin for WordPress, which means typically it lives in /sitemap_index.xml. Clearly you have a custom url setup w/ your app, but I'm questioning whether this is setup? From my past experience, this is the first thing you should do.

Finally, your top navigation links apparently go to specific categories of posts, and I can't help but point out that your title tags could probably be improved (i.e. - http://www.airpair.com/backbone.js). Fortunately since your using the Yoast plugin (good choice btw), you can change this under Titles & Metas -> Post Types.

Which car to buy?

There's too many. Unless you can list a couple of requirements and where you come from (e.g. programming languages you already know, what the company already uses in-house) it will just be guessing.

From your earlier question (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16193739, user re-registered) "Ask HN: Why use Flask instead of Django?" "I have no programming skill."

First three duckduckgo results for "flask django":

There are a few ways.

First, join a project with a technical coach. I've been lucky enough to be on two and grown tenfold. I credit my time pair programming with some great programmers on industry code as vital to my current skill level.

If that isn't in the cards, I'd suggest airpair and code katas. http://www.airpair.com/agile-software/coach-and-trainer-ron-lichty/ is a giant name that's probably a bit expensive, but there might be other experts on there.

Unfortunately, it's not likely to be cheap. I'm hoping to start an organized curriculum at some point, but I don't know that I'm at the level to proclaim myself an expert at this point. :)

Welcome to our space! This looks very similar to AirPair.com (my startup), Wizpert, Codementor, Sudonow.com, anyfu.com, googleHelpouts, onscreenexpert.com

Would love to know how you guys differentiate?

In case you're customer that needs help, if you don't want to wait through the hackhands private beta and request an invite, you can get help in the next hour like hundreds of other folks that have been doing this for a year now:

If you need rails specifically (seem hackhands only support rails right now?). Have a look through some of our experts:

I am subscribed and get my Angular Newsletter weekly from this site[1].

Although the newsletter also involves the anticipated changes for the 2.0 version, they do provide good articles as well related to the latest Angular release.

If you are on Twitter, you could also follow @AngularJS[2].

Also, Egghead[3] and Airpair[4] normally provides good articles related to AngularJS, although the latter has more diverse web topics.
