It's sad that you would submit something only if you can gain something and not to help the community.
BTW First results in google for "website load testing": http://loadimpact.com/
For example you could try this service out and write a post about your experience and submit it to HN so you could help the community with useful information.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it out and maybe find other services I can compare this one with.
My experience with programming/product launching is also so junior/non-existent that I doubt anyone on HN would be interested in hearing about it. So the only other reason I might post (at this time at least) is if I were selling something (and I'm not). I was just being honest about what I feel I can contribute to HN at this time. Which is very little, hence why I stick to merely commenting.
