Think about it. It's a post about how to avoid going over capacity while serving multiple concurrent requests.
(Just because somebody taught you to snark at that Alanis Morissette song doesn't mean that every instance of irony that isn't immediately obvious to you is a false instance)
Hmm, you contradicted my belief about what is ironic based on knowledge of what I "seem" to have expected? Remarkable mind-reading powers, sir.
The definition you quote is silly when taken literally, since it makes irony a completely subjective matter. The fact that you're quoting it to me while failing to correctly apply it (since you could not possibly know what I expected) is richly ironic in itself :)
You think a site called "overemployed" about working multiple jobs is really about slacking off? shrug okay?
The guy is putting himself forward as an authority on how to juggle these multiple jobs. I don't think he ever really says it's easy or for slackers. He says you have to manage expectations while staying afloat. But his web infrastructure couldn't handle the expectations placed upon it.
Oh, I don't think it's about slacking off, either. But, clearly, most people in this comment section do. I thought you were one of them. I guess not. But, it's still not ironic that the site goes down when HN hits it. If anything, that's expected.
