This is like seeing a brick wall 40 miles down a straight road and yet still managing to drive into it, and then blaming the wall.

Ao3 doesn't have a dude getting slack alerts by a dozen monitoring agents. It's one of the last holdouts of the old, more personal internet. Hell, it's even certain that they forgot or even didn't know that the type was an unsigned int.

And that's perfect. Blame the wall too, because it was running just fine. It's a site to write (mostly porn), with better uptime and more daily users than most of the companies posted on HN daily.

I wasn't sure what the percentage of porn is, so I counted the number of works for each maturity rating:

    4,247,583: Teen And Up Audiences
    4,173,082: General Audiences
    2,816,083: Explicit
    2,271,446: Mature
    1,676,061: Not Rated
