       This. This is what I needed to be reminded, today.
       
       When somebody complains that the Web is hard to scale, they're already working
       against the grain of the Web.
       
       At its simplest - and the way we used to use it - a website is a collection of
       .html files, one of which might have a special name so the webserver knows to
       put it first.
       Writing HTML is punk rock. A "platform" is the tool of the establishment.
       Thanks, Mia.
