The presidential debate went so poorly for Joe Biden that the Reddit admins hid all the comments on the debate thread on /r/politics

According to some redditor, it's a codecel problem. Knowing reddit, this tracks

It broke because of /r/politics. When a discussion thread gets meaningfully past 30,000 comments, it starts to lag subsequent submissions to that thread, and then lag the entire site, until there's eventually a full chokeoff. The debate thread ballooned to an insane number of 56k before mods locked it, at which point the comments in there were 25 minutes behind realtime. Had the /r/politics mods locked the first thread and started a new one properly, it wouldn't have caused a sitewide issue. But this has been a problem since forever. It just rarely happens because there are rarely scenarios where enough people are commenting on a single specific thread so as to cause the cascade failure.

!codecels imagine if you could explain to your customers that your product crashes when they use it too much because that's just how it is

Meanwhile our customer got it in the contract that they can demand arbitrary performance tests, so now the system needs keep up with multiple orders of magnitude more load than the absolute maximum realistic load. Think 1 billion people all buying a new car every ten minutes. Then the r-slurred jeet who came up with this scenario informs the customer's management that the application is unacceptably slow and unstable. The current users (around 10% of the total user base) are happy with the system, everything is smooth and snappy, but because of that fricking streetshitter the customer's CEO doesn't want to scale up and decommission the old system, but instead scrap the perfectly fine product we've been working on for years.

Goddarn this hit a nerve.

56,000 really isn't a huge number in computing terms though. You should be able to insert that into a database in about a second.
