The only thing I really have to say about AO3's latest contretemps is: I told you so~

When a platform is so fucked up that the only way to make it run is to take out the navigation, then it's time to think real hard about who's been driving development.

I did some testing a few weeks ago, and as of then, they were not caching works listings, or if there was any caching it was a matter of seconds. Every single time I clicked on a page in my "1000 works" list, it was doing a new db search. And every single time, it was regenerating the tags list for the filter. Every time I changed sorting. Every page. Every time I used the filter. Crushing the db again and again. It was jawdropping.
