It spins for... well I don't know because I gave up and navigated away after about 60 seconds.

I'm not super sure what architecture is in use that means that 16 minutes of being on the HN frontpage leaves it stalling out and unable to respond to requests after 60 seconds, but... it doesn't feel connected with the homepage messaging.

I absolutely appreciate (and have been subject to!) the HN traffic influx before, but for the nature of the product, when doing an _intentional_ Launch HN (not posted by someone else), it's fairly confidence-eroding to see the architecture fail to handle it in this way.

Really hoping that it's something transient and one-time that can be fixed – but surprised that there exist loading screens for this situation.
