Via Gordon Weakliem, I found these words of wisdom from LaughingMeme:

You’ll never build a successful site if you build to scale from day 1, scaling is always a catch up game, but it’s the best game there is.

That's been my experience with this site - which I'll admit, doesn't get anything like the traffic that the big guys get :) However, I do get a lot more than I did back in the summer of 2002 when I started - and I've learned what to do (and what not to do) the only way I could - by example
